To do this, investing in a technology refresh and focusing on the devices that your employees are using…
There’s still a sizable distance between sustainability sentiment and corporate action. Innovative green technology—including energy-efficient supercomputers, low-emissions datacenters, computational fluid dynamics simulations, and circular design—are helping to close that gap.
