In recent times, we have seen how companies are seeking to implement operational processes that reduce their negative impact on the environment. For this reason, different certifications and recognitions have been created, such as Icontec’s Zero Waste or the Loop Seal. These certifications and recognitions reflect that the company that obtains them is contributing to the proposed change.
Here are 5 tips that a company can apply to contribute to sustainable technology:
1. Server and equipment virtualization: Virtualization allows multiple servers and equipment to be consolidated onto a single physical machine, which reduces energy consumption and the amount of hardware needed. By using technologies like virtualization, the company can optimize IT resources and reduce its carbon footprint.
2. Promote the use of low-energy devices: Currently, there are computers, servers, and other IT devices specifically designed to be energy efficient. Replacing old or inefficient equipment with newer, low-consumption models can significantly reduce environmental impact.
5. Implement recycling policies and responsible equipment disposal: When IT equipment reaches the end of its useful life, it is important to ensure it is properly recycled to prevent environmental contamination from electronic components.
