Towards a Sustainable Future
Organizations worldwide are increasingly prioritizing workplace sustainability. As a result, there is growing pressure on IT departments to optimize PC lifespan, reduce energy consumption, and achieve circular IT practices. Businesses are adopting sustainable IT practices not only to meet Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria but also to boost business revenues, increase employee engagement and productivity, and attract and retain talent and new customers.

How Technology Plays a Role in Corporate Social Responsibility
Technology can help organizations become more efficient and reduce their energy use. Technology producers are actively pursuing two objectives: improving product sustainability and using technology to improve sustainability. These two goals need to be combined in a responsible way that incorporates good governance, values privacy, and fosters trust. See how Intel vPro® is delivering built-in sustainability benefits for businesses and how Intel is working with Wipro to help customers reduce their carbon footprint.
Circular value chains help reduce the demand for new raw materials and lengthen product life. Through its circular economy initiatives, Intel has been able to recycle, reuse, or recover 130,000 metric tons of manufacturing waste.1
Intel aims to help companies achieve circular IT, especially by making devices more sustainable across the PC lifecycle. From the moment sand becomes silicon to when a device is finally retired, Intel builds circularity into design and works to provide better end-to-end sustainability to help you maximize your technology investments.
Workplace sustainability benefits extend beyond technology to customer loyalty, faster growth, competitive advantage, employee retention, employee engagement, and more.
Sustainability often results in a big payoff in the long run. Several major enterprises have discovered the financial benefits of embracing more sustainable practices and have realized that it is possible to save money by adopting a more sustainable approach to working practices.
4 Key Takeaways
Sustainability is important to customers. As consumers consider the environmental impact of the products and services they purchase, they will choose more sustainable options. Businesses that prioritize sustainability will have an advantage.
Sustainability is good for the bottom line. While the shift to more efficient supply chains and more sustainable products may initially result in increased product prices, early adopters of sustainability will likely gain market share and save money in the long run.
Sustainability is a collective goal. Businesses and their partners need to work together and shift from a reactive mindset of doing less harm to a proactive one of doing more good.
Technology can be used to increase sustainability. The way forward is to use the power of technology and innovation to pioneer new, sustainable opportunities for a better future for everyone.
“86% of workers who work for organizations with ESG-related (environmental, social, governance) goals said their employer’s ESG goals make them proud to work there, make their jobs more meaningful and make them want to stay with their organization.”
