The Application of Computer Science

Computer Scientists have a Role to Play in Combating Global Climate Change

Computer scientists can help reach this goal in four ways. Two of these involve mitigating the direct negative impact of computers—their power consumption as well as the economic and social costs associated with the manufacturing, maintenance, and disposal of components. The other two relate to the indirect positive impact of computers-their ability to increase energy efficiency by changing systems and ways of being; to potentially reduce world emissions by as much as 15 percent by 2020. They can focus on innovative design approaches within the context of ecological-economic sustainability and socio-cultural responsibility.

Sustainability: The path to a cleaner, healthier planet runs through the supply chain: Corporate responsibility does not just build a better world, it also drives financial value. Global businesses are committing to key sustainability objectives: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, eliminating slave labor, avoiding plastics, conserving water used in production, tapping into renewable energy sources, and more. ERP Applications are great solutions for Supply Chain Management.
