University of São Paulo purchase computers adopting criteria for Green IT

This recommendation led to the idea of creating a "green label", or another way to show that companies care about the environment and the seals of business friend from school, friend's child, etc.. Ah, forgot the main, show that the product emits fewer toxic gases, creates energy savings, etc..

Vita also says that commercial automation equipment to meet the Rohs directive (Restriction of Hazadous Substance) because, "if I do not answer, my export to Europe would be zero," says the executive.

Without doubt, Green IT is one of the trends for the coming years. With all the concern with the environment companies feel obliged to change their way of production in order to please consumers and humanity. Domestic companies that export already feel pressure to follow environmental standards if they want to continue sending their products out of the country. That is the reality, is the production of computers, servers reduction through virtualization technology, or any other form of our environment will help the company "a company amicíssima the environment," making it a respectable company ambietalmente.
