cross Europe, CIOs are facing a complex
A challenge: how to align their IT operations with ambitious sustainability goals while maintaining the performance levels their organisations demand. Between mounting regulatory pressures, rising energy costs and the growing demand for transparent ESG reporting, IT leaders are no longer just responsible for uptime and availability – they’ re now pivotal players in corporate climate strategies.
The good news? Sustainability and performance are not mutually exclusive. In fact, with the right approach, they can be deeply complementary. CIOs are increasingly leveraging innovative technologies and strategic frameworks that reduce environmental impact while strengthening the resilience and efficiency of their infrastructure.
European CIOs are increasingly tasked with harmonising IT operations and demanding performance with stringent sustainability targets, navigating regulatory pressures, escalating energy costs and the growing need for clear environmental, social and governance( ESG) reporting, Chris Carriero, CTO, Park Place Technologies.
Rethinking sustainability in IT: Beyond the data centre When most people hear‘ sustainable IT,’ their minds jump to greener data centres. But the environmental impact of enterprise IT extends beyond server rooms. From procurement and device lifecycle planning to software optimisation and infrastructure architecture, sustainability is embedded throughout the digital ecosystem.
Leading CIOs, rather than chasing short-term fixes, are integrating sustainability into their core IT strategies – evaluating the carbon intensity of their workloads, redesigning refresh cycles, and treating resource optimisation as a business imperative, not just an environmental one.
