Fujitsu Services survey finds lack of advice on what CIOs should be included
in carbon footprint
Chief information officers (CIO’s) are split on whether outsourced IT
operations should count towards an organisation’s total carbon footprint,
according to a Fujitsu Services survey.
While the majority of the CIOs preferred to count outsourced IT operations as
part of their carbon footprint, almost a quarter believed the opposite and
wanted the contracting company to become responsible. The survey was of 100 CIOs
in UK companies employing more than 1000 people.
Fujitsu
Services, as a provider of outsourcing services, said industry leaders
should work together to agree common standards for calculating carbon
footprints.
“This research suggests that many are erring on the side of caution,
preferring to double-count rather than risk understating environmental impact,”
the Fujitsu Services report noted.
