Green ICT Obligations for Corporates

Meeting the green obligations of your organisation with ICT - Tom 
Worthington FACS CP, Adjunct Lecturer ANU and Member of the ANU Climate 
Change Institute.

Large organisations in Australia are already required to report carbon 
emissions each year and from 1 July 2012 carbon pricing will be 
introduced, effecting all organisations. What are the impacts for 
business and government; for example how will e-Waste regulations effect 
the disposal of equipment in future. Tom will be undertaking a review of 
the Greening of Australia and both the responsibilities and the 
opportunities for individuals and organisations.

Tom Worthington is the designer of the ACS Green ICT course and also the 
ANU ICT Sustainability course. He will discuss how ICT professionals can 
have a role, or even a new career, in helping their organisation meet 
its green requirements.
