5. What is Impacting Environment Emissions to air Releases to water Releases to land Use of toxic materials in equipment Use of resources to produce Energy Energy emitted from use of Products Waste and by-products …. Etc etc

6. Environmental impact for any organization can be broadly classified into 3 categories: A.Environmental impact of IT used by an organization. This includes consumption of energy in the data center or for PCs / Laptops, printing and networking equipment; electronic waste and asset disposal etc. Environmental Impact

7. B.Environmental impact of an organization’s business operations This includes the environmental effects of material and energy consumption; emissions or waste from manufacturing and other operational processes; paper consumption for administrative purposes; lighting, heating and cooling for buildings; workforce commuting and mobility; vehicle fleets; waste disposal etc etc. Environmental Impact

8. C.Environmental impact in the "in use" phase of the enterprise's products e.g. for a 2 wheeler manufacturer, the energy that goes into manufacturing components in-house or by our supply chain partners and having them shipped, assembling bikes, shipping to dealers etc is part of the category B. The petrol used for bikes and their carbon dioxide emissions are part of the third category C. Finally, IT that runs the factory, as well as all other processes, constitutes the category A. Environmental Impact

9. ….And IT can help in saving environment….. This is what Green IT is all about

10. Role of IT IT can work on All 3 Categories Reducing Carbon Footprint and Usage of energy of IT Equipment Making Organization processes more energy efficient Help Organizations ‘compute’ and ‘analyze’ environmental impact of activities Help in changing the Rules of Game as such – e.g. collaboration, digital signatures, e-banking, video conferencing etc

11. Constraints to the Adoption of Green IT Lack of Awareness Green IT as a key area is only now starting to resonate with IT managers Hidden Energy Costs Many times, IT management have no clue how much energy their operations are consuming as bill may not even come to IT Cost Most change costs money now, even if there are savings to be had later on

12. Constraints to the Adoption of Green IT Lack of Specifications / Regulations No formal mandate is many times a good excuse for not acting. There are hardly any regulations or standards or audit requirements Change Management Not able to get buy in from staff to play their part in helping, such as reducing print volumes and using conference calls to reduce unnecessary travel.

13. Why Companies Are Thinking of Green IT Is Cost Savings or the Environmental Issue the Real Driver? Many enterprises are motivated primarily by cost savings Some however have "How much money can we save?" question after they've asked "How much CO2 and energy can I save?” Cutting costs and improving environmental performance are not mutually exclusive in many cases
