Holistic Approach to Sustainable IT
Published in 2023
In today's world, environmental concerns are more critical than ever, and the IT industry must prioritize sustainable practices. Mark van der Walle and Emiel Kwakkel will shed light on the urgency of adopting sustainable practices in IT. Their presentation aims to highlight the need for change and lay the groundwork for a greener and more responsible future.
In this talk, you'll discover the power of embracing scarcity as a catalyst for sustainable action, recognizing the need for a holistic approach. We will emphasize the importance of avoiding the pitfalls of isolated green initiatives that merely shift the ecological problem elsewhere, rather than solving it. By integrating sustainability principles into the entire lifecycle of IT products and services, we can effectively address environmental challenges without inadvertently creating new ones.
Measuring progress is essential, and the speakers will guide you through the process of quantifying your environmental impact. By establishing clear metrics and benchmarks, you can track improvements over time and celebrate the successes of your sustainability initiatives.
