Resumo(s)
Green IT and Green IS have emerged in IS literature as dominant concepts to improve sustainability activities in companies and contribute towards the goal of combating climate change. While research has focused on different and mostly narrow aspects in these areas, solution-oriented and more practical approaches that can be easily applied to a broader environment are hard to find. Therefore, this study follows a design science research methodology to identify how companies can approach and improve their IT-related sustainability activities. An initial literature review is used to establish the basis for an implementation framework, and a systematic review is used to compare existing tools for green IT readiness and maturity assessment. A framework is developed that combines all the steps necessary to implement green IT, including a readiness assessment and a maturity assessment. The model is validated with feedback from expert interviews. The goal of this research is to develop a framework that guides companies in a systematic way toward green IT implementation and continuous improvement, considering existing models and tools. Therefore, this study not only helps companies to improve their ecological footprint but also contributes to scientific research in the IS field and helps society advance in the important goal of reversing climate change. In addition, the findings will provide important implications for further studies on green IT and Green IS concepts and their successful implementation in all kinds of organizations.
