Initiative 1: Corporate IT use must become greener

Companies are increasingly marketing themselves in environmental tones, including greener IT solutions. An ever-increasing aspect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) deals with environmental issues. In addition to strengthening their green profile, the embracement of Green IT can help corporations achieve considerable cost savings due to reduced energy consumption

The Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation aims to gather and demonstrate the best practices in the field of Green IT and share the positive stories that can make Danish companies more energy-efficient. It is important that the existing body of experience is used to provide knowledge of what works well and what does not when it comes Green IT solutions. Such solutions can include optimisation of server rooms, establishment of home offices, procurement of so-called AutoPowerOff plug banks or entirely new ideas or models for energy-saving solutions relating to IT.

On the basis of the best practices gathered from Danish companies, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation will produce a catalogue of ideas to be used by companies who wish to develop a greener IT profile.
