Climate change is a critical element<\/a> when it comes to companies establishing their environmental, social and governance goals, and a recently released report from Pure Storage Inc. spoke to exactly that.<\/p>\n

The company shared interesting metrics from that study, which involved a thousand sustainability leaders around the globe.\u00a0The report found that leaders universally focused on global sustainability as a top priority. It also found that such concerns directly influenced companies\u2019 buying decisions, particularly regarding infrastructure.<\/p>\n

TheCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media\u2019s livestreaming studio, dove into the big questions surrounding IT sustainability during the \u201cPure Storage: The Path to Sustainable IT\u201d event<\/a>, including exclusive interviews with company executives at Pure Storage and an intriguing use case at managed service provider Elmec Informatica S.p.A.\u00a0(* Disclosure below.)<\/em><\/p>\n

In case you missed it, here are three key insights from the event:<\/p>\n

1) You don\u2019t have to choose between powerful and sustainable technology.<\/h3>\n

Pure Storage may be further down the path of sustainable IT than some companies, which may be wondering what core elements to focus on beyond IT sustainability team alignment.\u00a0But the company believes it doesn\u2019t come down to either powerful or sustainable technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are opportunities to get both, and not just in storage, in your entire IT portfolio,\u201d said Nicole Johnson<\/a>, global head of social impact and sustainability at Pure Storage Inc. \u201cWe know that we\u2019re in a place in the world where we have to look at things from the bigger picture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adopting environmentally efficient solutions and services can actually help scale and deliver more effective IT solutions over time, according to\u00a0 Johnson.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that our data centers utilize an incredible amount of energy and carbon,\u201d she said. \u201cSo everything that we can do to drive that down is going to address the sustainability goals for us individually, as well as drive down that climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The earlier that sustainability teams can be involved in conversations, the more impactful business decisions will be, Johnson added.<\/p>\n
