Studie: Nachhaltigkeit und Green IT in IT-Organisationen. Status quo und Handlungsempfehlungen

The increasing dissemination of information systems into all areas of business and personal life has drawn attention to its environmental effects. IS organizations are becoming aware that they have to take up their responsibility by thinking seriously about sustainability management for information systems. While measures for using computing resources efficiently have received considerable attention, the topic of sustainability in IS management is still lacking theoretical foundation. The purpose of this study is to explore current environmental efforts in sustainable IS management. Based on expert interviews with CIOs, IS and environmental managers from IT organizations, the study provides researchers and practitioners alike with an explorative study on the situation of sustainability and Green IT in IT operations.
