About This Item

Environmental regulations impact IT … Buy this guide and understand how!

Rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are leading to a gradual rise in the temperature of the earth. With the signature of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, many countries committed themselves to lowering their emissions of greenhouse gases in order to reduce the speed at which climate change is happening. Many organisations are now responding to the issue of climate change by improving their energy efficiency. Public opinion and customer expectations are also encouraging companies to adopt green initiatives. IT represents an important element of your organisation’s environmental policy, not only as regards carbon emissions but also in terms of waste disposal.

 

This pocket guide is intended to provide company directors and executives with a brief guide to the regulatory requirements that are driven by the Green Agenda. It offers you an overview of the key legislative initiatives and environmental standards, and includes an examination of carbon trading schemes.

 

Benefits to business include:

  • Understand the relevant legislative initiatives
    This pocket guide explains climate change laws such as the UK’s Climate Change Levy (CCL). The guide shows where CCL is applicable and assesses its impact.
  • Understand the main global standards
    The pocket guide provides an overview of the key global environmental standards, including the ENERGY STAR program that measures the energy efficiency of desktop computers and monitors. 
  • Understand ISO14001
    ISO14001 is the international specification for an environmental management system. This pocket guide outlines the requirements of the standard and looks at what compliance with it can enable your organisation to achieve. 
  • Get up to speed on the waste disposal regulations
    This pocket guide explains the implications for the IT organisation of the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive. WEEE applies to IT equipment and to accessories such as keyboards.
