Sustainable IT is the backbone of a greener future
To understand their perspective when it comes to sustainable IT, for the latest Capgemini Research Institute report - Sustainable IT: Why it's time for a Green Revolution for your organization's IT - we interviewed 1,000 organizations and spoke to IT executives, sustainability professionals and others.
We found that sustainable IT is not a priority for most organizations - only 43% of executives are aware of their organization's IT footprint. While half of the organizations have a company-wide sustainability strategy, only 18% have a comprehensive strategy with well-defined goals and deadlines. In addition, 49% lack the tools to adopt and deploy solutions and 53% lack the expertise. This leaves only 6% to reap the significant performance opportunities, including better ESG scores and improved brand image and customer satisfaction, resulting from high maturity in terms of sustainable IT.
Sustainable IT is a critical element of post-pandemic recovery. To achieve it, organizations need an informed strategy, engaged employees and leadership, and sustainable software architecture. This will not only leave a greener footprint, but also unlock the potential of smart technologies to drive environmental innovations and improvements in sustainability performance.
