What is Green IT?
Green IT entails energy-saving in IT devices
and using IT devices to save energy in society.
Why Green IT?
The rapid worldwide spread of IT devices may lift the current level
nine times by 2025 to account for more than 15 percent of world power
consumption, and around six percent of total energy consumption.
Given this trend, saving energy both in and through IT devices
(Green IT) will be critical.
Establishment of the Green IT Promotion Council
The industry-led Green IT Promotion Council was launched on 1 February 2008. Members include seven IT-related groups as well as auto, construction and distribution-related groups. Intel, IBM and Microsoft and many other offshore firms also participate, with Japan’s Green IT initiative attracting strong international interest and high hopes.
International action
Members of the Green IT Promotion Council(GIPC) include not only IT and electronics manufacturers, but also groups from other industries such as lighting, automobiles and construction. Through our partnership with these groups, we will be able to expand the range of activities and measures taken toward realizing an IT society. We will use their strengths in taking a lead role in global action (partnerships).
