AGENDA IBM Energy Efficiency Program & Accomplishments IBM CO2 Reduction Commitment Featured Solution: Measurement and Management Technology 1.5 System 2 World Wildlife Fund Climate Savers Meeting

IBM s Commitment to Energy Efficiency IBM first established its Corporate Policy on Energy Conservation in 1974 Formalized energy conservation program continues unabated to this day IBM s Environmental Management System objectives include achieving and sustaining progress in improving the environment by maintaining a position of leadership in energy conservation; and reducing costs and increasing competitiveness and shareholder value through gains in energy efficiency. Achieving energy efficiency is one aspect of IBM s five-part strategy to reduce the company s operational greenhouse gas emissions IBM has a corporate goal to achieve annual energy conservation savings equal to 3.5% of IBM s total energy use IBM s experience in energy management and demonstrable results inform and contribute to the company s efforts in developing capabilities and solutions to bring value to its clients 3 World Wildlife Fund Climate Savers Meeting

IBM s Operational Energy Efficiency Performance Between 1990 and 2009, IBM saved 5.1 billion kilowatt-hours (kwh) of electricity consumption, avoided nearly 3.4 million metric tons of CO2 emissions (equal to 50 percent of the company s 1990 global CO2 emissions) and saved over $370 million through its annual energy conservation actions IBM s energy conservation goal recognizes only one year s MWH savings from identified projects that actually reduce or avoid the consumption of energy in its operations Reductions in energy consumption from downsizings, the sale of operations and cost avoidance actions are not included in the energy conservation performance In 2009, the energy IBM saved through over 1700 energy conservation projects was equivalent to 5.4 percent of its actual energy use. 246,000 megawatt-hours (MWH) of electricity; 410,000 million BTUs of fuel oil; nearly $27 million savings in energy costs Saving Focus Areas: Time of Day Scheduling and More Efficient Hardware for Lighting & HVAC Systems Building Recommissioning Efforts Data Center Thermal Management and Server Virtualization Projects Central Utility Plant and Building Control and Analytics Systems 4 World Wildlife Fund Climate Savers Meeting

IBM CO2 REDUCTION COMMITMENT CORPORATE GOAL: Between 1990 and 2005, IBM s energy conservation actions reduced or avoided CO2 emissions by an amount equal to 40 percent of its 1990 energy use. To further extend this achievement, IBM set itself an aggressive 2nd generation goal: to reduce the CO2 emissions associated with its energy use 12 percent by 2012 against a 2005 base year through energy conservation and the procurement of renewable energy IBM CLIMATE SAVERS GOAL: Corporate CO2 Reduction Goal Data Center Energy Efficiency Improvements: Thermal Management with MMT 1.0/1.5 (IBM Featured Solution) Server and Storage Virtualization Dynamic Cooling Data Center Design Innovations Today s Presentation will Focus on the Results of the MMT 1.5 Sloution 5 World Wildlife Fund Climate Savers Meeting
