January 26, 2009 (Computerworld) How did Citigroup‘s green IT initiative begin? I began working on this in April or May [of 2007. Former Citigroup CIO] Marv Adams had a strong commitment [and] asked me to look into this. I ended up speaking to people from around the bank and got the program approved by the leadership council in September 2007. The bank has committed $50 billion toward sustainable efforts over the next 10 years. We also have a plan to reduce our own greenhouse gas [emissions] by 10% by the year 2011. And we’re operating from a 2005 base.

One of our strengths is our global approach, to see the big picture and see the points of interconnectedness to make sure everyone is talking.

An interesting article talking with the former CIO of Citigroup, it’s always good to see what different organizations, CIO’s see as their big issues, what their drivers are in terms of cost and the environmental factors – the green data center etc, do check it out.
