Survey results show 95% of organizations concerned about environmental impact but constrained by space, cost, and infrastructure complexity (pages 10–12). It highlights sustainability measures such as renewable energy, AI-optimized operations, and lifecycle extension. The report calls for ecosystem-wide collaboration to reduce embodied carbon across supply chains and balance TCO with sustainability goals in the AI era.
