Home Office Partners with Greenstone to Measure ICT Energy and Carbon Footprint
The Home Office has become the latest UK Government department to measure its ICT related energy and GHG emissions using Greenstone’s Enterprise system. The department produced its annual ICT footprint as part of the Cabinet Office Greening Government ICT programme.
In 2011, the UK Government launched its ‘Greening ICT Strategy’ with a vision to create “a cost effective and energy efficient ICT estate…..with reduced environmental impacts to enable new and sustainable ways of working for the public sector.” As a result, 15 central government departments are required to submit an annual report outlining their progress on mandated commitments and actions on greening their ICT estate to the Cabinet Office.
