Press release
VeryPC were surprised and honoured to be awarded the SustainIT Special Award for Outstanding Contribution to Sustainable IT at the UK CEED National eWell-Being Awards 2009, for long term, continued and ongoing commitment to carbon reduction in our products and for our customers' businesses.
This special, unannounced award was presented after the end of the usual proceedings, during which VeryPC proudly accepted the trophy for winning the Greening Data Centres category for our Free GreenServers Initiative and were also highly commended in the Environmental Innovators category (this being the award that we won the previous year).
We're quite amazed to be singled out by SustainIT for this accolade. It's honour enough to be nominated, and even more so to win our category, but this is something else entirely. I'm incredibly proud of the work all the staff at VeryPC are doing, and am sure that this kind of recognition will only spur us all on to providing even better energy efficient GreenPCs and GreenServers for our customers. Along with tonight's other winners and nominees, we've made a start in improving things, but there's still a lot of work for the green IT community to do. Peter Hopton, Managing Director of VeryPC
