Springboard: Most Asia Pacific firms lack green IT strategy

19.06.2009
Less than 10 percent of 1,200 surveyed firms across Asia Pacific have formally implemented a green IT strategy despite widespread awareness of green IT's ability to cut carbon footprint and improve ROI, said Springboard Research Thursday.

According to the survey result, 60 percent of all firms without a green IT strategy in place plan to implement one in the next 24 months.

Springboard's study also revealed that the economic crisis will have a limited impact in delaying green IT initiatives, with nearly a third of enterprises indicating their green IT plans will actually accelerate during the economic downturn. The survey was conducted in greater China, India, Australia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
