WHAT WE DO

Sustainable IT—the future of information technology

Sustainable IT measures and optimises the environmental footprint of your IT systems. Enacting impactful, cost-conscious practices in your overall performance is all about the tools you use, the framework you adopt, and the metrics you use to measure and manage change. For PALO IT Singapore, this applies to both external projects and internal benchmarks.

While technology is certainly the means to an end of this blueprint, attitude, policy and practice form the foundation of progress for Singaporean businesses. After all, the end goal isn’t a single product or platform, but a culture of sustainability across an organisation.

Training & awareness

Meaningful transformation isn’t just about tapping into our team of experts, but empowering all people. This is where any project we’re a part of starts and ends.

From in-depth workshops to custom training materials, our approach builds awareness around the subject of sustainable IT, and gives autonomy to teams to steer their journey in the long-term, not just from the start and end date of our engagement. We begin with the backbone of our sustainable approach - the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 17 global goals designed to be a "shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future."

Optimisation

Our Impact Tracker inspires deep-seated change, but a PALO IT project isn’t simply throwing out the old for the new, it’s taking existing solutions and gearing them towards sustainability.

From devices, to networks, to data centres and power grids, we take the whole of an IT infrastructure and measure, transfer and enhance it to better address one’s carbon footprint. The GR491 Handbook of Sustainable Design of Digital Services, created by Institutes for Sustainable IT provides the framework for us to begin this evaluation. This, supplemented, by the guidance of the UN SDGs, allows us to connect the dots and optimise systems from top to bottom.

Transparency & Comms

So you've got the tools and methodologies under your wing, but how can you disperse this information in a useful, understandable way across an organisation? Sustainability always requires a multi-dimensional strategy, and the aspect of communications is no different. From finance to production, procurement to marketing, addressing the challenge at hand touches all parts of an organisation, not just IT teams.

Informational transparency and seamless communication is how we stay Agile, and ensure every stakeholder has a full view of what’s at stake, progress made, and where future improvements are taking us.
