The Economist Intelligence Unit conducted a major online survey in June and July 2007, supplemented by in-depth interviews with senior IT executives, to investigate what's really happening in IT departments.

whitepaper Data Centers Are Adopting Green Initiatives But Are Wary of Vendors' Marketing Messages2008-03-11 Aperture Technologies
  The IT industry and business in general are slowly waking up to the impact they are having on the environment. While the newspaper headlines target the growth of cheap flights as a leading cause of global warming, some commentators have suggested the IT industry is responsible for more carbon emissions than aviation. Organizations have to be seen to be environmentally aware, but how much of it is PR bluster, and how much of it is backed up by action? This survey shows that although 70% of organizations are adopting a green initiative, 19% admit the data center has been overlooked and 13% don't know how the data center is affected by the policy.
