Green IT enabling business sustainability

Toyota

Toyota wanted to develop a strategy for Green IT to complement their Green vehicle production strategies.

“It’s an opportunity for an IT department to move from a more reactive approach. It builds on the business’ existing environmental strategies and also outlines a framework for collecting information on emission and carbon trading” James Scott – CIO, Toyota Motor Corporation Australia

Toyota Australia already has an excellent reputation for their sustainable approach to business. In 2005 they developed their five year Environment Plan and have been reporting their progress each subsequent year in their annual Sustainability Report. Toyota wanted to develop specific sustainability strategies for IT at their three main Victoria sites to ensure that IT contributed to meeting the targets in their five year Environment Plan.

Identifying the Savings

Toyota asked Fujitsu to help them assess the environmental risks and opportunities within their IT estate. We conducted in depth interviews and used assessment tools to build up a clear picture of the various strengths and weaknesses of the current approach to IT with regards to its environmental impact. From this assessment our consultants worked with Toyota to formulate a Sustainable IT strategy which linked directly to their existing strategies and outlined a number of actions, projects and programs that can be implemented to achieve significant cost and green house gas emissions savings.
