Computerworld Ranks Raytheon a Top 10 Green IT Organization
Raytheon's information technology function ranked 10th in Computerworld's Top Green IT Organizations study for 2011, as the company was recognized for innovative practices yielding measurable results. Raytheon's Green IT program was covered in a Computerworld feature published Oct. 24.

Raytheon's program reflects a focus on reducing energy consumption throughout the company. Since 2008, more than 3,000 IT servers have been virtualized or decommissioned, resulting in $23 million in annual savings and the elimination of more than 2.1 megawatts of electricity consumption so far this year. Raytheon has also enhanced telecommunications capabilities, enabling reductions in business travel and realizing new efficiencies in commuting practices.

"This recognition is important," said Raytheon Vice President and Chief Information Officer Rebecca R. Rhoads. "It validates our commitment to IT operational efficiencies that enable business growth. Ours is a culture that values sustainability in everything we do."

Raytheon Recognized in Newsweek's "Green Rankings"
