Abstract

This study describes a conceptual approach to greening and sustainability through Information Technology management. The authors reviewed existing research and publications on the topic of greening, and concluded that while much has been written about ways to go green, much less are available on guidelines to help gauge the degree of greening efforts. To help alleviate this shortcoming, the authors propose a model–called the Greening through Information Technology Model (GITM)–based on the framework of Capability Maturity Model. The authors are currently in the process of developing questions to be used for each aspect of the greening management to determine the GITM level that an organization is in.
