Executives face more pressure than ever to accelerate their journey to carbon neutrality. As organizations commit to reducing their environmental impact, investors, consumers, governments, and regulatory agencies expect transparency and measurable results as it relates to sustainability. Executing on strategies for environmental sustainability often includes a mix of approaches. IT has the opportunity to reduce impact immediately through optimization of cloud and data center resource consumption and minimize it continuously. Prioritizing sustainable resource consumption offers quick wins that last, as you also initiate longer-term investments in renewable energy, more efficient hardware, and the like.

Last year, the world watched as billionaires took to the skies and launched themselves into space. Today, the space race has become a phenomenon, providing the ordinary person with a potential opportunity to take an extraordinary spaceflight. But there is more to space than meets the eye – through research and science, space improves people’s lives around the world by contributing to environmental monitoring, natural resource management, weather forecast and climate modelling, and early warning systems to assist in minimising future disasters.

Today more than ever, there is an urgent need to scale up progress with energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is one of the pillars of a climate mitigation strategy1. It is also a critical element to meeting the global Sustainable Development Goals and to ensuring a cost-effective transition to a reliable, low-emitting energy system. At the same time, both states have increased their ambition to transition to low-emissions sources of energy, including increased ambition on renewable energy generation and energy efficiency. As a result, the programmes in New York and California have evolved to value the wider system benefits of energy efficiency, as described below.

Business Challenge Widely classified as critical infrastructure, energy companies traditionally relied on the inaccessibility of their core technology environment to protect against threats. Today, energy companies are focusing on grid modernization, increasing connectivity between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) to provide myriad operational benefits and efficiencies. The environment has expanded to remote endpoints and networked devices used across the entire supply chain to improve collaboration, access and control. This interconnectedness, however, opens energy companies to considerable risk
