What are the challenges of corporate social responsibility (CSR) for IT?

Companies are facing a growing ecological footprint, mainly due to electronic waste and the high energy consumption of their IT systems. In 2022 the world’s electronic waste production has reached 62 million tonnes.

In 2023, data centres represent between 2 and 3% of global electricity consumption, according to the International Energy Agency.

“Energy accounts for 54% of a data center’s expenses. This energy consumption weighs on the cash flow of companies in this sector. Among the most important consumption items are the computer servers and cooling systems. They represent approximately 80 % of site energy consumption.”

Finally, companies face high costs, often caused by regular hardware renewals, business disruptions and cyber security risks. This complicates their goal of efficiency while respecting their responsible commitments.
