The report notes that IBM's Smarter Planet products and services help clients measure and reduce their resource consumption while saving money. It points to a system developed at the company's Zurich Research Lab, where water that cools a supercomputer is used to warm nearby buildings.
"Environmental sustainability benefits our clients, our company and the planet, and we are constantly striving for continual improvement," said Wayne Balta, IBM's vice president of corporate environmental affairs and product safety. "We are grateful for this recognition as it reflects the long-term commitment of IBM and its people to environmental leadership throughout the company's global business operations."
