Climate change is real and it's happening right now. The good news is that there are solutions that exist to help slow and stop this global issue. Business leaders know that taking a stand on climate change will produce benefits in the form of customer loyalty, and will also help capture new markets.

One of the biggest power consumption demands comes from employees' personal workstation equipment, which is generally in an operational state for at least 12 hours per day, and in many cases is not switched off.
