Regulatory compliance and social responsibility

Many countries and local governments have instituted regulations to curb carbon emissions and promote sustainability due to growing awareness about environmental protection.  There are laws mandating reporting of energy usage and carbon footprint as well as penalties for non-compliance. Adopting green practices enables organizations to meet these legislative obligations efficiently. It also helps prepare for any future tightening of norms around areas like hazardous waste disposal. Being greener enhances an entity's public image and brand value as a responsible corporate citizen. Customers are inclined to choose businesses demonstrating ethical standards as well as reducing their own carbon footprint through supply chain partners committed to sustainability.

Employees, particularly younger workforce, prefer working for employers who are environmentally and socially conscious. Highlighting green IT initiatives can attract and retain top talent. Investors also look favourably on companies integrating CSR initiatives into core operations and strategies. This improves access to funding from socially-driven investors. Various certification programs recognize and reward environmental stewardship. For instance, in June 2021, Microsoft, Accenture, and Goldman Sachs announced a partnership with nonprofits, including the Linux Foundation and climate groups. The partnership aims to develop and share methods for creating software that produces fewer carbon emissions when operated in data centers.
