Abstract :
Efforts to reduce carbon footprint has long
been in discussion as well as action. Carbon footprint is
defined as the overall amount of various greenhouse gas
emissions, primarily comprising carbon dioxide, emitted
due to the actions and choices of an individual,
organisation, or nation [8]. Companies are working in
the direction of Green Information Technology (GIT)
under the pressure of regulation, corporate social
responsibility, competitiveness, sustainability and
demand for greener products. Like companies allocate
budget for innovation and development, similarly budget
allocation is necessary for shifting to GIT. Especially for
developing countries which want to adopt greener
technologies must have an underlying plan to do so. It is
easier said than done. Small firms struggle with budget
and financing. How can such firms meet their
technological requirements at a cheaper and greener
way. In order to help the implementation of GIT
processes there are regulatory frameworks such as
ISO/IEC 33000 and administrative references and
governance frameworks for GIT, whose indicators help
to standardize processes, and good practices of
information technologies and sustainable and ecofriendly communication practices that have the intention
of evaluating according to international levels and the
organization state towards GIT [5]. Guzman and Juiz [5]
deduced that individuals must admit the responsibility of
his\her behaviour.
