Show Notes

In this episode, we’re drilling into something that’s arguably under-discussed: How to make IT itself more sustainable through the life cycle of its products.

We’ll be talking about how we can build sustainability into our products and why it’s important to think about sustainability at every step of the product life cycle, with Karim Abou Zahab, principal technologist for sustainable transformation at HPE’s Living Progress organisation.

This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
