The Sustainable IT application enables you to effectively manage and monitor the emissions generated by your hardware assets. Additionally, it enables you to keep track of the energy consumption of your assets and their proper disposal after they reach the end of their lifespan.

As an ESG program manager, the Sustainable IT application empowers you to track the sustainability performance of your hardware assets such as laptops, servers, desktops, printers and scanners, and so on. With this tool, you can easily monitor and assess the environmental impact of your hardware assets. The application provides valuable insights through a dashboard, enabling you to make informed decisions on whether to retire or repurpose these assets. The dashboard also displays important data such as electricity consumption and emissions. To use the Sustainable IT application, you must install and activate the Sustainable IT (sn_esg_sustain) plugin and the Hardware Asset Management (sn_hamp) plugin.

With the Sustainable IT application, hardware asset managers can make informed decisions regarding asset purchases, focusing on reduced energy consumption. By providing insights into devices with the lowest emissions, the application enables managers to prioritize environmentally friendly choices.

Using this application, you can monitor your data center's emission performance and identify your most environmentally friendly or greenest data centers.

To collect data of the hardware asset emissions, consumption, e-waste, and energy star assets, by default, 27 metric definitions such as Energy from solar power, Energy from biomass, and so on are provided. You must activate those metric definitions for which you want to collect data and configure your entities appropriately so that the correct data is collected and displayed. The data is always collected on a monthly basis and is only displayed for the completed metric data.
