ESG regulations are ramping up. Enterprise data use is skyrocketing. And businesses are missing the connection.

Sustainability Costs of End-of-Life Data: Are We Doing Enough to Combat Excess Data & E-Waste?

The IDC forecasts data consumption to reach 221 zettabytes by 2026—the equivalent of streaming all Netflix content continuously for over 4,500 years.

It makes sense, then, that reducing an enterprise’s data footprint can go a long way in cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Still, nearly 40% of global businesses have yet to act on sustainability issues caused by end-of-life (EOL) data.

Our survey of 1,800 IT and sustainability leaders worldwide investigates the nexus of escalating data collection, international climate concerns, and today’s data management practices, including:

  • The eco-impact of data footprints
  • How hoarded data harms businesses’ environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ambitions
  • The relationship between cloud and on-prem data management and Scope 3 emissions
  • How sustainability and IT departments can support each other’s compliance goals.

Blank is sustainable. See how businesses worldwide—including your own—can harness better data management practices to meet new and aggressive ESG requirements.
