Despite sustainability being a key focus for businesses, a Kyndryl and Microsoft report revealed that only 21% of organizations utilize technology to achieve these goals. Many companies have set ambitious carbon reduction targets but struggle with implementation due to barriers like lack of skills and executive ownership of IT initiatives. The future may see increased pressure from regulatory standards such as the UK SRS and EU CSRD. Furthermore, understanding the GHG Protocol's three emission scopes is essential for defining responsibilities and facilitating progress towards sustainability.
Although sustainability is becoming a top priority for businesses, relatively few are looking to their IT department as a driving force for environmental change.
Just 21% of organizations are using technology to achieve sustainability goals, despite 84% placing high strategic importance on them.
The main driver for change will be environmental, social, and governance (ESG) or sustainability reporting regulations believes Zuzana Kovacova.
Understanding the GHG Protocol's three emissions scopes is critical when setting IT sustainability goals as it clarifies ownership and responsibility.
