CIO Sustainability Community
Digitalisation and education are key drivers of sustainability. With the Climate Hours Initiative we offer employees, sustainability leads and CIOs knowledge, proven solutions and valuable networking opportunities.
Climate Hours Initiative
Together we bring climate competencies into your company and empower your employees to lay the foundation for a sustainable transformation.
• Practical content: knowledge & awareness from leading experts
• CIO Community: exclusive access and exchange with CIOs from leading companies
• Lever for change: sensitising the workforce and activating the supply chain
• CSRD integration: support for reporting requirements
• Stronger brand perception: media coverage and reach via KURIER
In 2024 the Climate Hours Initiative reached over 250 companies and trained thousands of employees.
Why we are part of it
For NetApp as a global company, sustainability is the key to long-term success — especially when it comes to future-proofing products. Companies must not only maintain but actively develop their sustainability strategy, even in politically uncertain times. That is exactly why we are part of the Climate Hours Initiative.
CIOs play a central role: the targeted use of technology and data management is a decisive lever for efficient sustainability reporting and strategic transformation.
As NetApp, in cooperation with our business partner Quorum, we connect CIOs with relevant experts within the initiative and support companies in building the necessary sustainability competencies.
Glacier and Kurier bring their comprehensive expertise, climate competence and media reach to the Climate Hours. The focus remains clear: sustainability is and will remain a decisive economic success factor.
CIO Sustainability Community
Sustainability is a central topic for companies worldwide — and CIOs play a key role in this transformation. They drive sustainable IT practices and use technology and data to measure and improve sustainability performance. To specifically support CIOs, Glacier and NetApp — in cooperation with their business partner Quorum — have joined forces to build tailored training formats and a strong CIO community.
This white paper provides detailed insights into the crucial role of CIOs in the sustainability transformation.
