Sustainable IT Playbook for Technology Leaders: Design and implement sustainable IT practices and unlock sustainable business opportunities

A comprehensive book such as this giving guidelines on IT sustainability has been the need of the hour. The principles from the book if implemented will go a long way in helping the IT industry reduce carbon emissions and move swiftly towards net zero.

For CIOs looking to help lead their business's sustainability efforts, or just looking to assess and reduce IT's carbon impact, this is the right book at the right time. The author, Niklas Sundberg, is CIO of Assa Abloy, and he and his team have helped make the company a beacon of sustainability. In Sustainable IT Playbook for Technology Leaders, he describes how it was done, and details the steps that any CIO can take to start on or accelerate their sustainability journey for the IT function and the enterprise. I found the book insightful, comprehensive and, thankfully, practical-oriented. Priority focal points, actions, impacts and benefits to the business are well articulated, and the "getting started" recommendations are much appreciated. The book also is packed full of references to supporting materials for those who want to investigate further. In my print copy, some of the graphics were printed too lightly to be easily legible. I recommend this for every technology leader.

A practcal approach into an evolving subject

Probably the most pragmatic, comprehensive and execution-oriented book on the topic.Niklas Sundberg is an executive, an expert and a practitioner - that’s why page of the book “breathes” it. No fluffy gimmicks.A must-read for any digital leaders who wants to be set up for success: CIOs, CDOs and their reports - and beyond - e.g. CFOs.

Easy reading with actionable examples and tools. Should be read by any IT manager

I treasure this book - it's thorough, compelling yet a reference I believe so many of us need to return to repeatedly to see the 'unarticulated' need of humanity, society and the planet at large we are taking far too much time to address. Through this book, Niklas' passion, thoughtful contribution and provocation - translates the acknowledgement of a critical reality we can no longer avoid or run away from INTO a focussed, high leverage strategy (surfacing IT as a low hanging fruit) that can become a perfect model for other industries, functional areas and leadership at large to follow and adopt. Niklas' and his broad range of active contributors bring to life in practical, tangible action oriented terms - what and how to DO WHAT IT TAKES to bring about more sustainable business and create a world our future generation will thank us for.
