Consider: In the United States each year, 27 tons of CO2 are released per person. It's estimated that 44% of that CO2 release is due to travel – driving and flying.
People directly and indirectly contribute to an organization's carbon impact in a variety of ways - from the daily commute, to business travel, to the physical office space and its energy requirements, and the number of required IT staff personnel. While making green improvements in infrastructure and workloads can reduce IT maintenance staff needs, increasing energy efficiency across the greater employee population can be achieved with flexible and powerful collaboration tools. These collaboration solutions can help you reduce travel and infrastructure costs, enable collaboration across teams, conduct training and education virtually, and empower workforce productivity. The software and product development teams have unique collaboration requirements that are addressed by targeted solutions from IBM.
