For enterprises today, sustainability is no longer a buzzword or a noble intention being
perpetually punted into the future. Organizations are increasingly expected to put their money
where their mouth is and make good on green intentions. State Street, one of the world's
largest investors, has announced it will use its $3 trillion investment arm to vote against the
boards of big companies that lag behind on environmental, social and governance (ESG)
standards.
We at CloudBolt know it is now everyone's job to help leave the world a better place for
generations to come. Yet, we also have day jobs to do. How far has the sustainability agenda
reached the IT ranks? How important is sustainability in driving infrastructure investment
decisions? Have we reached an inflection point in the New Cloud Order whereby rhetoric
maps to revenue?
These are the questions the team at CloudBolt was curious about. So, in June/July of 2021, we
asked CXOs and global tech leaders on the Pulse platform (a growing IT community of over
30,000 decision-makers) a series of survey question to share their thoughts regarding
sustainability as it relates to cloud.
Setting the stage:
Key Takeaways:
What we found was eye-opening. The speed of responses and the enthusiasm for all things
sustainability was beyond inspiring -- in less than three weeks, we heard from 256 IT leaders.
