Global Action Plan is an independent environmental charity which has been helping businesses reduce their environmental footprint since 1992. Since our ground-breaking report An Inefficient Truth we have been active in the push for organisations to practise leaner and greener IT. 

Information Technology is a significant part of your business budget, from the regular costs of purchasing equipment, to the ongoing costs of energy, support and training. There are also environmental costs; Information technology produces the same carbon emissions as the aviation industry, electronic waste is the fastest growing source of municipal waste in the world, and these environmental footprints are growing rapidly as the use of computers permeates our society.

Global Action Plan offer innovative and flexible Green IT programmes aimed at where your business is today.  Together we will develop and succesfully deliver a Green IT action plan underpinning the environmental ethos and policy of your organisation.

Leaner and Greener IT

Global Action Plan's Green IT Team will help create an employee engagement programme to lead the project forward.  Involving all facets of the business, we especially want to bring your IT team to the forefront of your organisations environmental agenda .

We bring all the tools and knowledge, giving your business:

• Understanding of your IT energy costs
• Understanding of the environmental costs of your IT
• Workshops to educate and engage staff on Green IT
• Actions for all staff members to take to reduce their environmental impact at work and at home
• A detailed, personalised report for the business
• Case studies and networking with organisations who have successfully implemented Green IT programmes and the benefits they accrued
• A firm foundation for an Environmental Management System such as ISO14001
• A certificate of acheivement on successful completion of the programme

What do you need to do?

To optimise the impact of our green IT programmes, your business will help with:

• A cross functional team to lead the programme internally
• Access to procurement statistics such as energy bills, paper usage, and procurement numbers
• Numbers and models of IT equipment
• Staff IT equipment usage patterns

Global Action Plan's qualified Green IT team will be there for help and advice with all facets of the programme.

What will it cost?

Our programmes can be charged at a set fee or by standard day rates.  This  allows your business to choose exactly what parts of the programme you feel you would most benefit from, and expand the project as you wish.

Thanks to funding from the European Union businesses with less than 250 employees based in London can get a version of the programme aimed especially for them.
