KnowledgeStorm and Info-Tech Research Group partnered to conduct the Global Green IT Attitude & Action survey in November 2007. More than 2,100 IT and non-IT respondents from around the globe provided insight on their sentiment towards climate change, Green IT, and how they believe their companies are reacting.

In terms of attitudes, all respondents are concerned about climate change. In terms of action, however, Asia and Europe lead the pack. The Attitude & Action survey also found that:

• Up to 55% of North American respondents claim their companies do not have PC power savings policies.
• Opinions are mixed on whether IT is working towards higher energy efficiency, with the most negative opinions coming from outside Asia and Europe.
• About 40% of companies in Asia are adopting major changes, such as green RFPs and shortened IT refresh cycles for energy efficient equipment. Other regions lag, with North American respondents reporting less adoption.
• Asia tends to lead adoption of IT responsibility for power bills and energy efficiency measurement; other regions fall behind.
