State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), the world's leading
provider of financial services to institutional investors, today
announced that IDG�s Computerworld, has selected the company as one
of the top Green-IT Organizations for 2009. This honor is part of
Computerworld�s annual Top Green-IT Organizations feature,
published in the April 20 issue of Computerworld and online at
Computerworld.com.
For the second consecutive year, Computerworld set out to
identify organizations that are implementing smart, efficient
strategies to achieve �green IT.� Organizations were invited to
complete a comprehensive questionnaire online in January and
February. Ninety-four organizations participated. To view the full

�We are delighted to be recognized for State Street�s approach
to managing environmental impact,� said Madge Meyer, executive vice
president, Global Infrastructure Services at State Street. "IT
environmental practices have an immediate effect on energy
optimization and cost-effectiveness - as well as a long-term
competitive advantage on sustainability. Our program leverages
creative ways to minimize the environmental demand of technology.
As a result, green thinking is embedded in our culture, technology
solutions and standard operating procedures.�
State Street�s green IT initiatives include:
- The �Zero Footprint Maximum
Impact� strategy, which reduces the IT infrastructure in local
offices by relying on regional data centers and technology to bring
applications to users
- Server Virtualization, which is
the partitioning of a single server so that it appears as multiple
servers, has reduced State Street�s CO2 emissions by more than 35.5
million pounds � the equivalent to planting 80,000 trees
- Video and teleconferencing
solutions to reduce travel and greenhouse gas emissions
"Smart organizations know that there are energy and money
savings beyond data center walls, and even beyond the IT
department. Green-IT efforts are found up and down the supply
chain, from the data center to the desktop, from the mainframe to
the end user,� said Scot Finnie, editor in chief, Computerworld.
�The organizations recognized in our second annual Top Green-IT
issue have explored new ways to apply technology to reduce energy
consumption and carbon emissions in every part of their
operations.�
