For many people, Green-IT equals to data centers optimisation; but even if greening the data centers is an urgent imperative, Green-IT is far broader than that. It also concerns areas like office automation infrastructure, end-user practices, IT procurement, CSR and the use of ICT as a way to reduce the CO2 footprint. On the other hand, more and more environmental regulations are into force and questions come from the Board, the CEO and the CFO, putting more pressure on the IT department.

The Green-IT Strategy, Governance and Maturity Model permits to show, measure and control the contribution of the IT department to the organisations commitments to reduce ICT waste, energy consumption, C02 footprint and to reduce costs.

Our initial assessment determines the maturity level (0 to 5) of the organisation regarding Green IT.

Key points:
- We look at Green-IT from a pure Strategy & Governance perspective; maximising return for the stakeholders and managing risks,
- We are in line with standards and best practices like the ones recommended by Green Grid and the European Commission,
- We offer a step by step approach meaning that the costs incurred for green initiatives remain under control,
- We put a Green leverage on the standard methodologies: CobIT, Val IT and ITIL v3,
- We minimise risk by anticipating upcoming laws and regulations.
