Customers will increasingly demand energy-efficient IT solutions
Whereas IT is already leveraging sustainability and energy efficiency in other sectors, IT developers also need to ensure that the ICT products (Information and Communication Technology) they are designing will become more sustainable and energy efficient.

IT suppliers who focus their efforts on developing energy-efficient IT solutions are receiving positive customer feedback. Acting responsibly and being able to offer energy-efficient IT solutions are already a competitive factor. Hence, energy-efficiency certification of ICT will play a major role in the future, as IT companies need to be able to document their sustainability initiatives in a trustworthy and transparent manner.

Certifying ICT for energy efficiency is a relatively new field, and no specific guidelines and certifications exist. The research and innovation project GreenCOM has been launched with the purpose of developing new methods and technologies that will help IT companies become more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

This webinar is the first in a series where we will share the latest knowledge from the research project.
