The tools were developed by Telstra and Capgemini, and according to Telstra, enable organisations to estimate the commercial and environmental savings from investing in four specific ICT solutions - videoconferencing, flexiworking, web contact centres and field force management. "The tools estimate greenhouse gas emission reductions and employee productivity outcomes by assessing the financial costs and savings to the company for each alternative," Telstra says.

WWF-Australia CEO, Greg Bourne, said a recent review of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment reports by WWF showed that ICT could be used to deliver between two and seven billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emission reductions annually simply by scaling up proven, profitable solutions. "Avoiding a climate catastrophe requires all of us to find ways to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions. The cuts already proposed by the Australian Government are welcome but much more will be required if dangerous climate change is to be avoided. The opportunities to cut emissions through ICT identified in this white paper are available today and are cost effective. This white paper should be urgent reading for every large Australian organisation." Telstra will be providing a copy of the sustainability white paper to its enterprise and government customers and offering sessions to use the RoI calculator to explore potential savings through ICT investment.
