Sustainability<\/strong> remains a pressing task for organizational leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change<\/strong> and its impact on society require the search for and adoption of sustainable business practices that guarantee a reduction in energy consumption, a lower emission of polluting gases and a greater use of renewable energies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the business challenge is enormous, the use of sustainable technologies is generating encouraging results in environmental terms as well as in business operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Accenture<\/strong> study called “<\/em>The Green Behind the Cloud” showed that “the use of sustainable technologies such as the cloud reduce CO2 emissions<\/strong> by up to 59 million tons per year<\/strong>, the equivalent of eliminating almost 22 million cars on the road.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable technology <\/strong>refers to those digital solutions that optimize business activity without compromising the ecological balance or natural ecosystems. In other words, these tools facilitate more profitable, efficient business models<\/strong> that are committed to high-quality standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sustainable technology is increasingly important in operational terms, such as cost optimization, energy performance, and asset utilization, yet it also drives results on ESG issues, such as improved well-being and the traceability necessary to ensure responsible business practices.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, cloud systems, artificial intelligence tools, business intelligence solutions, advanced network management software, and resources for measuring carbon footprints are the technologies that contribute the most to curbing the environmental impact generated by economic activity.

In fact, according to Gartner estimates<\/a>, by 2025 the cloud will prove one of the most adopted emerging sustainability technologies within the business ecosystem.

“Cloud services offer great sustainability potential with their ability to centralize IT operations and operate at scale using a shared service model, resulting in greater computing efficiency.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of using the cloud as a sustainable technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For business leaders, using the cloud is key to achieving a business model that reduces operating costs, enhances productivity, contributes to preserving the environment, drives innovation, and improves the trust that people place in an organization.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“By 2025, 85% of organizations will increase sustainable efficiency by 35% through the use of cloud-based software and infrastructure.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to data from Oracle<\/a>, the migration and use of the cloud can reduce carbon emissions<\/strong> into the environment by 84% and thus reduce the environmental impact. The cloud contribution in the area of sustainability includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
