With Green IT, you lay the foundation for realizing a Green Business. This describes the ecological target state of a company that successfully implements the following criteria:
- CO2 neutrality of its own service delivery
- Ensuring ecological criteria across the entire value chain of its products (for example through supplier audits)
- Using IT as an ecological enabler in all business processes
- External engagement beyond company boundaries to promote sustainable societal development
In recent years, a growing number of companies have adopted this objective, as they face strong pressure from stakeholders regarding ongoing climate change. This includes, in particular, investors and legislators, who increasingly introduce laws and guidelines to improve the overall ecological situation.
In addition, these companies pursue a differentiation strategy by positioning themselves ecologically against competitors. This includes intensified stakeholder communication around ecological commitment. Key concepts in this area include the CO2 balance, sustainability reporting, and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The GRI provides concrete, industry-specific reporting rules that have become a de facto standard in sustainability reporting.
