# Sustainable IT

**Problem**

Digital workplace technology has a serious and increasing impact on our environment. To reduce and report on their environmental footprint, organizations are turning to those who have the best insight into workplace technology - IT. In most cases, however, IT teams do not have the insight needed to baseline and measure their carbon footprint. This holds back the implementation of real, impactful changes at both the infrastructure and employee behavior level.

**Solution**

The sustainable IT library pack enables EUC teams to baseline their organization's level of sustainable IT maturity with insight into the energy consumption and carbon footprint of key elements in their IT infrastructure, such s device usage, networking, and manufacturing footprint. This enables them to take direct action on areas of improvement and reduce unnecessary energy consumption (and their related costs).

In addition, pre-configured [Engage campaigns](/platform/user-guide/campaigns.md) have been specifically designed to survey employee sentiment, drive awareness, and deploy self-help.

With this solution, IT teams can better implement and measure the success of their corporate environmental goals without compromising employees' digital experiences.

**Expected value**

* Facilitate sustainability reporting for your digital landscape with a single dashboard highlighting both sentiment and technical reporting data.
* Bridge the gap between IT and CSR teams with data points both teams can rely on.
* Quickly identify areas of improvement and influence end-user behaviour with targetted awareness campaigns
* Gain an understanding of the impact of your device manufacturing (Scope 3).
* Assess the impact of network traffic and data center destination.

{% hint style="info" %}
This library pack provides EUC teams with insight into an IT infrastructure’s energy consumption in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and the carbon emission in kg (KgCO2).

To achieve this, this content relies on both remote action data, as well as global assumptions based on research data.

For a detailed breakdown of the calculations and assumptions used to estimate consumption and emission, as well as the sources used to get this information, you can learn in our [Sustainable IT calculations documentation](https://edocs.nexthink.com/latest/sustainable-it-library-pack-calculations).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/library-packs/sustainable-it.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
