Emailing "Big Green Indeed"
As counterintuitive as it is to think that the maker of those hulking mainframes is one of the greenest tech companies around, IBM has indeed earned the distinction.
Big iron site,
IT Jungle, brings us some interesting news on a report in which IBM takes top honors.
A report put out last week by Ceres, a coalition of investors, environmental groups, and various public interest organizations that is trying to goad corporations into taking some responsibility for climate change, reviewed 63 of the world's biggest companies in 11 different industry sectors and gave them grades on how green they were.
...In the tech sector, IBM had the highest ranking, at a score of 79, which was the highest score of any company examined. Dell came in next, with a 77 score, followed by Sun Microsystems with a 63 and Hewlett-Packard with a 62. Apple had the lowest rank of the seven IT vendors in the report, with a score of 28.
It must be said that Dell also earns a hearty congrats for a strong second place.
