“ Enterprise PCs are wasting money. Far too many organizations leave economic and environmental value on the table by not reducing PC-related energy costs.” Forrester, December 2008 “ Green IT has reached critical mass. Virtually all the companies we surveyed (97 percent) are discussing their Green strategy.” Symantec, May 2009 “ Transformation in the way people and businesses use technology could reduce annual man-made global emissions by 15 per cent by 2020 and deliver energy efficiency savings to global businesses of over EUR 500 billion [GBP 400 billion/USD 800 billion].” The Climate Group, June 2008 “ IT's role will increasingly be about applying the technology to create more- energy-efficient, less- carbon-intensive business models, enterprises, value chains, products and services with reduced environmental impact.” Gartner, April 2009
