Eco-Sustainability Strategy

Eco-sustainability is the way forward.

Communications technology accounts for approximately 2% of global carbon emissions, a figure that is predicted to double by 2020, as demand for broadband services grows. Innovative solutions hold the key to curbing these emissions and reducing environmental impact. But Alcatel-Lucent solutions are not designed solely to make networks more eco-efficient. In fact, their greatest impact lies in their application to numerous other industries, where they hold the potential to reduce the remaining 98%.

GreenTouch

Innovative solutions and a radically different approach hold the key to curbing emissions and reducing environmental impact. The GreenTouch™ initiative is an outstanding example. This global consortium of leaders in industry, academia and government labs initiated by Bell Labs, aims to dramatically increase network energy efficiency – to make communications networks 1,000 times more energy efficient than they are today.
