Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of contemporary measures to improve environmental IT sustainability, and explains how to prioritize these measures. The question is not if, but how and when organizations should be addressing sustainability issues, due to expected growth in regulations and growth in stakeholder pressure. In mitigating these sustainability problems, the role of IT is ambiguous. IT is both part of the problem and part of the solution to the problem. This research explains how IT-related opportunities in organizations can support a sustainable environment, and how these relate to organizational goals.
