Information technology? IT also works green!
Environment
Green IT is possible! As an IT company and multi-cloud service integrator, Arvato Systems considers it important to use modern IT to make a contribution to sustainable energy and resource management. We strive to permanently improve our energy efficiency and that of our customers through the use of our solutions and products. With modern cloud-based technologies and solutions, we ensure that information and communications technology is more in tune with our environment today and in the future.
Certificate for Social-Ecological Commitment
The partnership with the non-profit IT company AfB shows that we are also active in the social-ecological field. For years we have had AfB reprocess IT and mobile devices that have been taken out of service. This protects the environment and promotes the inclusion of people with disabilities.
Bertelsmann Energy and Climate Policy
The Bertelsmann Executive Board has adopted a Bertelsmann Energy and Climate Policy. The document reaffirms the company's commitment to minimizing the negative effects of its business activities on the environment and climate, and describes specific measures for effective environmental and climate protection. These include purchasing renewable energies, increasing energy efficiency, and developing climate-friendly products and services.
The companies’ local commitment is reinforced by the Group-wide target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent by 2025 compared to 2014. The new “green.screen” digital environmental platform from Arvato Systems is used to measure local energy consumption and calculate the corresponding emissions. “Green.screen” is currently being used as part of the Group-wide environmental data collection process at some 500 Bertelsmann locations worldwide. Extensive insights into the use of green.screen at Bertelsmann are provided on the Bertelsmann website!
