What Dell can teach India's IT firms
April 7, 2008, Rediff News
This report focuses on the efforts of Dell, one of the key players in the global IT market, at making its processes and practices environment friendly. The company is currently relying entirely on green power to meet the requirements of its global headquarters campus which houses more than ten thousand employees. Moreover, its green technology solutions have helped consumers save billions of dollars as well as avoid millions of tonnes of CO2, the company sources say. ICTs contribute to more than two per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, which is likely to grow as these technologies become more widely available. The report suggests that the Dell model holds important lessons for a fast growing economy like India, which has been witnessing huge investments in the IT sector.
