To close out Earth Month, Smart Columbus and our partners at Rackspace Technology® are excited to announce that the Columbus Green IT Playbook has been released and is available here: https://lnkd.in/eu9C7vJP This playbook establishes a bold vision for the Columbus Region as the nation’s first "Green IT Zone." We invite organizations to self-assess their performance against the Playbook's metrics, contribute to pioneering leadership examples of sustainable IT, and join the Green IT Zone movement! The Columbus Green IT Playbook was co-authored by Smart Columbus and Rackspace Technology in partnership with 21 local businesses. It proposes 11 actionable metrics designed to make the Region a national leader in sustainable IT practices. "The Columbus Green IT Playbook is a game-changer for the Region; the 11 actionable metrics, the Playbook, and community dialogue help make our Region a national leader in sustainable IT" said Ben Blanquera, Vice President of Technology and Sustainability for Rackspace Technology. "With the IT sector consuming a significant amount of global electricity, we must take steps towards reducing energy consumption. We can work towards a more sustainable future by implementing the strategies outlined in the Playbook." #SustainableIT #Sustainability Click here for Columbus Green IT Playbook Assessment: https://lnkd.in/eEh3QcM9
