Framework for Implementing Green Information Technology

- Efforts to reduce carbon footprint has long been in discussion as well as action. Carbon footprint is defined as the overall amount of various greenhouse gas emissions, primarily comprising carbon dioxide, emitted due to the actions and choices of an individual, organisation, or nation [8]. Companies are working in the direction of Green Information Technology (GIT) under the pressure of regulation, corporate social responsibility, competitiveness, sustainability and demand for greener products. Like companies allocate budget for innovation and development, similarly budget allocation is necessary for shifting to GIT. Especially for developing countries which want to adopt greener technologies must have an underlying plan to do so. It is easier said than done. Small firms struggle with budget and financing. How can such firms meet their technological requirements at a cheaper and greener way. In order to help the implementation of GIT processes there are regulatory frameworks such as ISO/IEC 33000 and administrative references and governance frameworks for GIT, whose indicators help to standardize processes, and good practices of information technologies and sustainable and ecofriendly communication practices that have the intention of evaluating according to international levels and the organization state towards GIT [5]. Guzman and Juiz [5] deduced that individuals must admit the responsibility of his\her behaviour. The objective of this work is to study the feasibility of adoption of GIT in terms of social, economic and technological aspects. Here I will also suggest a framework to smoothly adopt GIT and contribute to the environment while making business
