Abstract

This research adopts a critical perspective that challenges mainstream thinking that organisational awareness and sustainable IT strategies can effectively contribute to producing green IT operations. The main concern in reviewing the literature and selecting a framework to guide the analysis is to examine options available for green IT, organisational performance and strategy formulation, how they are challenged by regulatory and legislative compliance and to seek out the achievements by adopting them. The move to a low carbon society will fundamentally change the way that organisations operate in the future. Sustainability will continue to be an essential business driver for the majority of organisations. The introduction of new government legislation targeting environmental sustainability will increasingly impact organisational performance.
