Abstract: Since the 1970s the purpose of the environmental protection campaign has been to try to halt the gradual deterioration of our natural habitat Reactive and pro-active strategies were developed to incorporate environmental and social concerns into economic development beyond regulatory compliance In this research, we present a methodology to support the new era of sustainable development for all the three areas, which implements the triple bottom line (TBL) accounting mechanism by using quantitative models A broad TBL framework is developed to track and categorize sustainability information at the corporate level through a sustainability index system A ‘sustainability optimization’ model incorporates environmental and social costs and values into economic activities to support the decisions of the management This methodology can help decision makers to make ‘green’ plans, and provide strategic directions for future development

TL;DR: The dimensions of sustainable IT are explored, its development as a service is discussed, and criteria for improving its alignment with corporate sustainability strategy are provided.
Abstract: The primary goal of the emerging discipline of IT sustainability is to enable firms to use computing resources more efficiently while maintaining or increasing overall performance. The first wave of these efforts is commonly identified as "green computing" where the emphasis has been primarily minimizing power usage for datacenters and technical equipments (such as desktops, projectors). The benefits of green computing in terms of reducing power consumption and corporate carbon footprints are direct and relatively rapid to achieve. However, to move beyond internally focused green-computing initiatives to the realm of competitive advantage and corporate sustainability, more attention needs to be directed to how a second wave of sustainable IT practices can align with and enable corporate sustainability strategy. Moreover, sustainable IT strategies need to accomplish this while delivering on core IT performance requirements to drive business productivity. Increasingly, sustainable IT will be impacted by the shift away from product strategies to embrace an integrated service-science and IT-service orientation that has the potential to redefine how customer value is created and how quality of life is improved with service. This paper will explore the dimensions of sustainable IT, discuss its development as a service, and provide criteria for improving its alignment with corporate sustainability strategy.
