Confirmed Afternoon Ministerial Speaker : Malcolm Wicks, Energy Minister, BERR

''ICT is now responsible for around 2% of global CO2 emissions. The public sector, with annual IT spending of
£14bn, has an important role to play in reducing this two percent. An increased focus on sustainable procurement
and efficient use of IT products are two key areas that it needs to work on and I am very pleased to see a
conference dedicated on this."

John Higgins CBE, Director General, Intellect

"Government spends £12.4 billion per year on IT equipment and we are one of the largest purchasers of ICT in Europe. We know that the carbon footprint of this ICT is large and we know that it is growing. We have been working with industry to address this and I am glad to be speaking at Government IT Goes Green to discuss the options available and share ideas on how we can work together to not only ensure we use energy efficient ICT, but also look to how ICT can be used to generate environmental benefits elsewhere "
