If it is obvious that increasing requirements for the economy to effectively protect the climate lay in our future, how do smart decision-makers prepare for the new normal today? Each region of our world differs from the other in its economic parameters. And different ways of asking can sometimes yield conflicting answers.

In this study, we examine the ASEAN and ANZ markets in more detail, to better understand the current state of sustainability practices among businesses — and dive into current barriers in deploying green IT practices.
We conducted the study with 200 decision-makers from major to huge companies. The revenue of these businesses had to be at least $50 million, but most of them came in much higher. To get the big picture, we highly recommend you read the study.
