Explore the Mind Map to learn about the sustainable use of ICT in Industry & Business!
Ever since the development of ICT industry and business have been major application areas for these technologies. Their distribution brought significant changes for these sectors by revolutionizing production and trading methods. Information and communication networks offer channels for the exchange of business data, for cooperation and distribution, whereas computer systems enable optimization of a broad range of industrial and business processes, resulting in efficiency gains in energy and resource usage. Whether ICT can contribute to reduce carbon emissions arising from industry and business is discussed in this section. Given that the focus of industry and business is always set on economic growth, it is a great issue of sustainability to align this economic objective with the currently urgent environmental and social aspects on the way to a low carbon society. Therefore it is necessary to find methods of sustainable growth, meaning “to preserve the same outputs, in terms of functionality to people, with less resource use”, for which developments in technology can account.
