3. The environmental pressure
• We are facing growing environmental challenges:
o Global warming,
o Resources scarcity.
• Professional ICT and home electronics represent 2 to
3% of GHG and are responsible for massive toxic e-
waste.
• We need to reduce the environmental footprint of
ICT. Greening OF IT
• Hopefully ICT is also an enabler to a low carbon
economy. Greening BY IT

5. Green-IT: a multi facets world
• OF: Actions taken by an organization to lower its IT environmental
footprint
• Increase datacenter and IT infrastructure efficiency,
• Reduce paper consumption and electronic waste, 3%
• Manage end of lifecycle of equipment,
• Introduce green criteria in IT procurement,
• Prepare for green project lifecycle or green software development.
• BY: ICT projects and products allowing a reduction of the global
environmental footprint
• Home work and smart work center policy, 97%
• Scanning and electronic document management,
• E-government (tax on web, ID signature, …),
• Truck fleet satellite management.

7. From global to Green-IT Governance
• Why do we need governance? (institute of governance)
– Promotes trust in the organization and its people,
– Improves decision-making and the quality of these decisions,
– Enhances the perception of the organization among people,
– Improves the ability to mitigate risks,
– Improves stability (financial, legal, social, industrial).

12. Different governance schemes
• Choose the governance leadership
o Corporate level: CEO, board,
o IT centric: CIO,
o Sustainability driven CSR Manager;
• Choose the governance model
o Opt for a centralised or decentralised model,
o Interact (or not) with other models (CobIT, ISO14000);
• Choose a governance framework and a tool to qualify the
achievements and quantify the objectives.

13. Implementing Green-IT: SGM framework
• The Green-IT Strategy, Governance and Maturity
framework accompains the organization from day 1.
• Green-IT SGM is a pure governance methodology, it
implements, monitors and controls:
– The transformation of CSR or sustainable strategy into
tactical Green-IT decisions at departmental level,
– The convertion of tactical decisions into operational
activities,
– The Green-IT portfolio and dashboard of KPIs.
