Government operations and procurement to be more environmentally friendly.
Cabinet Office minister Tom Watson is taking responsibility for making government operations and procurement more environmentally friendly.
His remit will include IT, and he is likely to look for greater energy savings from technology, including wider use of IT management systems to help switch off PCs and printers when they are not in use.
To coincide with Watson’s new role, the Cabinet Office’s Centre of Expertise in Sustainable Procurement, based in the Office of Government Commerce, has published a plan which focuses on actions that have to be taken in order to meet government sustainability targets. These include mechanisms for saving energy used by computers.
