How to optimize the efficiency of IT equipment?
Why is it important?
Once the choice of IT equipment and its daily usage practices are well established, changing them becomes relatively difficult. Usage inertia is therefore significant, justifying that it becomes a priority topic at the start of the project.
3 key steps to take action
1️⃣ Choice of Equipment
- Use refurbished equipment.
- Replace personal and professional phones with dual SIM or dual number options.
- Prioritize environmental labels (Blue Angel, TCO, EPEAT...) for IT equipment.
2️⃣ Equipment Usage
- Extend the lifespan of IT equipment through leasing and upgradeable hardware.
- Unplug devices or set them to sleep mode after 3 minutes.
Extending the lifespan of laptops from 2.5 to 3.5 years could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions impact of the terminal fleet by 37% (source ADEME, climate, air, energy key figures, 2018).
3️⃣ Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Digital and Internet
- Website: Calculate the carbon footprint of your website here and make optimizations here.
- Emails: Unsubscribe from spam, avoid large attachments, remove email signatures with logos, regularly delete emails, etc.
- Internet: Default to a positive impact search engine (Ecosia, Lilo...).
- Software: Uninstall unnecessary software.
