Microsoft says it has created the new position of chief environmental strategist and named an existing manager, Rob Bernard, to fill it. Here's his mission, as described in an e-mail from a company spokesman:
"... to assess the company's environmental impact and opportunities at all levels, including: working with product groups to create technology innovations in software and hardware that can help enable customers to minimize their impact on the environment, assuring responsible business practices that work to reduce the company's direct and indirect environmental impact, and working with partners in industry, government and non-government to engage on global environmental issues."
Bernard has been at the company for 10 years, most recently as general manager for its Developer and Platform Evangelism team.
