In these modern times, new thinking is required around the use of IT. Buy…use…dispose is an outmoded and ‘non’ eco friendly way of thinking, along with the thought that IT has a 2-3 year lifecycle. Thinking anti-waste is the first step towards sustainability and being eco friendly.
Good business managers know the power of Triple Bottom Line thinking: Financial, Environmental and Social factors are all now taken into account when thinking about IT.
By utilising what is already there and having a strong plan for disposal and acquisition of new equipment, DEC has helped many clients to achieve strong results based around the triple bottom line.
There are now tougher audits and bigger penalties in place where Accountability is the new asset management slogan. Remember the World is watching and you never really know how safe your data is! Privacy is good business and eco friendly sustainability, is good business.
