A sustained effort | <strong>Page</strong> 15<br />
Green fingers make sustainable<br />
projects grow better and energy is<br />
at the root of it all.<br />
In April, Greenpeace announced<br />
its Cool <strong>IT</strong> Leaderboard to show<br />
how some global<br />
<strong>IT</strong> companies are creating<br />
solutions that address climate<br />
change and reshape energy use.<br />
The Leaderboard ranks company<br />
leadership on reducing carbon<br />
footprint, advocating for effective<br />
climate and energy policies,<br />
and putting forward solutions<br />
to decrease greenhouse gas<br />
emissions. In the third iteration<br />
of the challenge, Cisco with 62<br />
points and Ericsson with 53<br />
are out in front. Indeed Cisco<br />
doubled its score from the last<br />
version of the Leaderboard…<br />
