Let the Planet
Be Green & Cherish
Greener planet, as a corporate social responsibility, PTCL IT has initiated Greener IT program.
We plan to take the following initiatives with the help of all of you in reducing carbon foot print
of PTCL. These small steps for conserving energy collectively will make a big impact. According
to one study for every kilowatt of energy around 1.55 pound of carbon is emitted and about
17% of the 3.3 billion cubic meters of wood consumed worldwide each year is for papermaking.
Let’s enjoy an eco - lifestyle by living greener in all aspects of our lives and let’s make our
contribution towards a greener environment by taking following environment friendly steps:
Computer Energy Conservation
It is estimated that people use 588 billion KWh of energy
per year just for the computer use. To help conserve
energy for your computer you can:
Switch to energy-saving settings
Turn off your Monitor whenever you’re not using it
Keep your screens at low brightness. It uses less
energy and is easier on eyes.
Set it to sleep mode when you are away for short
periods of time
Turn off your systems when leaving office
Paperless Is More..Prioritize Paper Use
Paper is made from the cellulose of the tree fiber. So paper
industry heavily relies on trees for the supply of products
whose basic ingredients include fiber cellulose. Do you
really have to print out every email and handout? You can
reduce paper waste by going paperless wherever possible.
You can try to:
Keep copies of important emails, files and manuals

on your computer for easy searches and retrievals
Send updates through email instead of on paper
Review documents online instead of printing them
Use Email as medium for Documents approvals
You do use paper on a daily basis then you can make eco-friendly paper choices. Here are some things you can do:
Select recycled and chlorine-free paper
Bring your laptop to meetings to avoid printing out
presentation handouts
Procurement of Duplex printers for
Use old sheets for scrap paper, note-taking and draft
printing when required
Power of Printer
The printer is one of the most-used office items. Every day
it cranks out tons of important emails and other
documents. Here are some ways you make your printer
use greener:
Use a printer that does double-sided printing
Print in draft mode
Design documents in a manner which optimizes
paper use
Turn off printers and other peripherals while leaving
the office as they continue to consume power even if
they are not in use
Other Important ConsiderationsHere are some of the important factors that you may keep
in mind for a step towards greener life:
Turn off the lights when not required
Discuss ideas using whiteboards rather than paper;
it is more effective and greener
Avoid plastic bags. Try to use only recyclable paper

bags to put your things in
IT Initiatives
Here are some initiatives that IT department at PTCL has
taken for its contribution towards greener environment:
Selection of Energy saving computer, monitors,
printers and other peripherals when going for the
new purchase
Procurement of duplex printers for double side
printing to lessen the paper usage and tree cuttings
ratios
Virtualization of servers, storage and networks for
the optimum utilizations as most of the servers are
underutilized. The wastage of energy for such non
business purposes can be a big problem in terms of
investment. Virtualization can help to achieve energy
efficiency by utilizing the equipment at its full
capacity
Arrangements of Dual Power Source for the DataCenter, thus minimizing the usage of Generators
which adversely effects the environment by emitting
CO2. Currently three Gensets are installed which
consumes 1200KW of energy. Thus the effect of
1.55 pound Carbon per 1KW of energy can be
minimized by having power from multiple feeders
which is under progres
Replacements of desktops with VDI with reducedpower consumption and heat emissions at each
terminal
55% of energy coming into the data center is
utilized by the infrastructure devices which are
supporting IT Equipment like UPS, ACs etc. This
energy can be saved up by the usage of energy

efficient devices. Currently Stulz ACs using Precision
cooling have been deployed which switches to the
operating mode depending upon heat load in data
Center. The compressor is only switched on when it
is absolutely required. Stulz ACs using Dynamic Freecooling save up to 60% of the energy used by
conventional cooling systems.
Your work environment has a great impact on your personal and professional happiness and your
emotional health. If you enjoy how greening your life makes you feel, then there’s no better place
to keep the tradition alive than at work!
