October 10, 2007—BT has announced that its newly formed Global Services sustainability practice has launched a service to help large corporate and public sector organizations reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint.
BT’s carbon impact assessment enables organizations to accurately calculate the amount of CO2 emissions produced as a result of the use of networked IT services. It also provides a set of workable solutions to help customers reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint.
Initially available in the UK and USA, the BT carbon impact assessment takes into account the way people’s work patterns (such as their travel and IT use) contribute to CO2 emissions, and how business operations, shared services and building infrastructure add to an organization’s carbon footprint.
The strength of the approach allows a number of business scenarios to be tested and an assessment made of the associated energy and carbon reductions, says BT. More information on BT’s sustainability story can be found at its Bigger Thinking Web site.
