Abstract

Recently much has been written about sustainability and greening and the issue is likely to continue to resurface on the agendas of decision makers. This paper addresses one aspect of the topic: that of sustainability and greening through information technology management. The authors review existing research and publications on the topic and conclude that while much research is available on methods of enhancing sustainability and greening, less exists on guidelines to help gauge success or failure of these methods. 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.
