Grönare IT med hjälp av balanserat styrkort

Abstract

The concept of green IT is a hot topic in the industry right now. The requirements for environmental friendliness are becoming increasingly common. There is a lack of knowledge and understanding of what green IT means and how it can be achieved. Our study shows that the use of ICT can never become entirely green, but a lot can be done to become greener. We have produced a balanced scorecard which in theory leads to better governance, increased knowledge and a common picture of what the work of greening IT means for employees and the organization. With the help of literature review, survey, interviews and analysis of the industry, we have identified important factors for organizations work to achieve greener IT with the support of a balanced scorecard.
