How does this program differ from WWF’s Climate Savers Initiative?
The Climate Savers Computing Initiative was started in the spirit of WWF’s Climate Savers program, which mobilizes leading companies to cut carbon dioxide emissions. In partnership with WWF, companies commit to absolute, measurable greenhouse gas reduction targets. By 2010, Climate Savers companies will reduce their carbon dioxide pollution by over ten million tons each year, the equivalent of taking 2 million cars off the road. The Climate Savers Computing Initiative is an extension of WWF’s model and seeks to increase the energy efficiency of IT equipment, by challenging IT equipment manufacturers to develop and sell products with higher energy efficiency, and to encourage IT users to buy those products. We aim to reduce 54 million tons of carbon by 2010.
