Happy Belated Earth Day! Yes, I know Earth Day was yesterday...hence the belated...but tell the truth did you remember to celebrate? How do you celebrate the Earth? Do you hug a tree, have a neighborhood shredding day, start a compost or just pledge to be more aware? Well whatever you did to mark the day...hats off to you. Because now...today...

With its latest investment in Philadelphia-based Field Diagnostic Services (FDSI) and its overall $20 billion commitment to support sustainability, Bank of America (BofA) is just the latest financial institution to put their money on the table on issues of environmentalism. BofA joins Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and host of other financial institut...

It's quite common for hardware manufacturers to expand into also offering software that manages and/or runs on their servers or other devices. But it's far less common to find a large pure-play software company getting into the hardware business. But it's perhaps not surprising that Tibco is moving in this direction, given that demand for low-late...

Intelligent Environments appears to have lived up to the first part of its name with the revenue model it has in place with a growing number of customers. Not only does it take a small one-off fee each time a consumer submits an application online for one of its customers' card or bank account products, but the company also takes an annual fee for ...

The Morgan Stanley tidal power generation project is clearly a potentially very good investment. Citi's smart data centre also contributes to better energy efficiency. These investments should inspire further projects, although I think Google's offshore data centre is a little ambitious and could only have been designed by someone who has never ow...

With corporate social responsibility on the conference agenda at Sibos for the first time, I thought it would be interesting to have a chat with Swift's own CSR manager to talk about the co-operative's efforts to be greener and leaner. As a major operator of data centres, and organiser of large global events, calculating the carbon footprint is a c...

I see we're giving away a mountain bike on our Green Zone quiz as part of this year's Sibos bash. Sibos? Green? Don't get me started... the first time I attended I was shocked by the amount of materials seemingly used for three days and then thrown away. All that carpet for starters - an obscene waste. Anyway - I digress - if you fill in the quiz a...

I can't decide if this is funny or just downright rude. Or weird. Or all of the above. The EU have delayed a vote on protecting forests from illegal logging and Greenpeace are trying to make sure it doesn't disappear from the agenda as you might expect. However they're going about it in a rather unusual way by using the web to produce a bizarre co...

In this time of stretched budgets here's a healthy way to make a little difference and all that is required is that you walk to work. Companies are urged to register as corporate ambassadors (free) and urge their employees to register as a Walking Class Hero and Walk to Work on Friday the 3rd of October. It isn't necessary to walk all the way, tr...

HP has dedicated a fair amount of corporate Web space to promoting it's environmentally-friendly 'Green Giant' credentials. So I'm assuming this report from the Register is some kind of elaborate joke: "HP shatters excessive packaging world record". The accompanying picture story details how one amazed Reg reader took receipt of a very ...
