Environmental charity trains IT departments

Vendor Logicalis will subsidise training and offer it as part of business proposals

Global Action Plan, the environmental charity, has partnered with vendor Logicalis to offer independent environmental training for IT departments.

Logicalis will subsidise the training and offer it as part of new business proposals and contract negotiations.

Global Action Plan works with businesses to help them achieve environmental and financial savings by making simple changes to their working practices.

Trewin Restorick, director of Global Action Plan, said that orgainsations need to turn words into action.

'Communication about climate change needs to be done in a way that makes this largely abstract issue both tangible and relevant to employees. Employees are more likely to achieve change if they take action in supported groups; and they need to be able to measure the impact that their changes are making,' he said.

Logicalis managing director Tom Kelly says education can make a big difference.

'Strategies such as cutting data centre power by just five percent through simply using storage more efficiently, if repeated cumulatively in every such facility in the UK , could make a significant difference,' he said.
