Energising Sustainability
Infiniti Group Technology delivers IT and business services that bring real benefits. Many of our innovative services and solutions make a positive contribution to people and the environment. We help emergency services to respond faster, we improve road, rail and air traffic control systems, and we develop emissions management and trading systems.
Infiniti Group Technology is responding actively to the challenges and opportunities around climate change, sustainability and the environment. Businesses, markets and governments will need to transition to a low carbon, sustainable way of doing business. Infiniti Group Technology’s environmental management capabilities help other businesses along this journey.
What does Sustainability mean to Infiniti Group Technology?
Infiniti Group Technology’s vision encompasses all activities of an organisation, not just some of them. We bring these together under three key headings that reflect our broad range of activities:
- Corporate Responsibility represents the way in which we run ourselves, for ourselves.
- Corporate Services are the means by which we operate our systems and infrastructures on behalf of our customers who use them.
- Corporate Propositions include a wide range of innovative IT solutions that enable our customers to improve the approach to sustainability of both themselves and often their own customers too.
Energising Sustainability
For many, focus on sustainability has been a reactive exercise, forced by regulation and public opinion. In this context it has been easy to see it as a cost burden or a marketing requirement rather than a real opportunity for business improvement.
Infiniti Group Technology believes that sustainability represents a unique opportunity for organisations not just to improve the environment but also crucially to improve both the quality and performance of their business.
A proactive approach, properly energised, can
- reduce costs
- save energy
- save carbon
- save waste
- help win new business too
As a major IT Services company, Infiniti Group Technology is ideally placed to help its customers apply the power of information technology to the challenges of sustainability. This ability is focused across the whole range of requirements. Much of it is based on what we are doing for ourselves.
