Green IT – Energy efficiency is just the beginning
The current climate debate has really put energy savings and reduced CO2-emissions on the agenda for the IT-industry. But, although energy efficiency and innovative IT solutions for reduced CO2-emissions are important, it is not enough to make a product, or the whole IT industry for that matter, “green”. We have other important environmental problems to deal with – reduction of hazardous chemicals, improving the working conditions throughout the production chain and finding sustainable ways to deal with e-waste – just to mention a few. This is one of TCO Certifications missions; to influence the IT industry towards truly “green” and sustainable products.
