HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Hewlett Packard Enterprise<\/a> (NYSE: HPE) today announced the preview of a new sustainability dashboard on the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform and a comprehensive portfolio of sustainability services.

\n\u201cAchieving sustainability targets in a hybrid IT environment can be complex and daunting,\u201d said Pradeep Kumar, senior vice president and general manager, HPE Services. \u201cHPE breaks down this complexity with technologies and services that enable organizations to advance from strategy and design to operations and positive impact.
