The document discusses Green-IT governance and outlines several key points: 1) There is increasing environmental pressure and external drivers like regulations that are pushing for improved Green-IT governance. 2) Green-IT governance can help organizations improve decision making, risk mitigation, and sustainability across financial, legal and environmental dimensions. 3) Many standards, frameworks and reporting requirements have been established globally and nationally to promote Green-IT practices and transparency around areas like carbon emissions and energy management.

The environmental pressure • We are facing growing environmental challenges: o Global warming, o Resources scarcity, o Financial Crisis • Professional ICT and home electronics represent 2 to 3% of GHG and are responsible for massive toxic e-‐waste. • We need to reduce the environmental footprint of ICT. • Hopefully ICT is also an enabler to a low carbon economy.

TBL accounCng expands the tradiConal reporCng framework to take into account social and environmental performance in addiCon to financial performance; • The concept of TBL has three pillars: People, Profit and Planet. • Green-IT also comprises managerial aspects to control and monitor the effectiveness of implemented measures as well as marketing measures to communicate the success towards important stakeholders (Erek et al. 2009). • These measures can be structured regarding their strategic, operational and technical impact and along the IT activity chain of IT departments covering a source, make (data center, office environment), deliver and return process (Schmidt et al. 2009; Molla 2008). • Green-IT is a systematic application of environmental sustainability criteria to the design, production, sourcing, use, and disposal of the IT infrastructure in order to reduce IT, business process, and supply chain related emissions and waste and improve energy efficiency (Molla et al. 2009).

- Compare 2 – 3 % w/ aviation !!Only accounting for Energy consumption.!! Scarce resourcesCO2 can be discussed; but is surely aligned with financial aspects (energy consumption) Hard to compare with impact on scarce resources when building and damages to environment when disposing … LCA Hence models do exist with Proxies.Although resource scarcity may not be a direct concern for the CIO (inter)national authorities transform their concern regulations.?
- And more specifically the Need for Green Corporate governance of ITLet us zoom on EU’s situation
- On peutajouteràces aspects formalisésPolitical pressureUnited Nations, European Union, nationsNGO lobbyWWF, Greenpeace, ITU, WRIThink of Greenpeace campaign against Apple ! And apple (marketing) reaction. Although this might not be a primary concern for CIOs, Green-IT image and hype offers the possibility for the CIO to take driving seat in some of the image projectsOn voitqu’un certain nombre de standardsquel’onpeutvolontairementsuivre, prennent tout doucementunetournureobligatoire avec des contraintesfinancièresà la clef.Let us focus onto a very specfici and concrete case : UK
- Introduce a rk here on the Cloud aspect of the problem.
- CONTROL STRATEGIC / OPERATIONAL / TECHNICAL SUSTAINABILITYImportant de remettre G-IT au seind’uneapproche plus générale de “développement durable” qui couvre, elleégalement les apects financiers (durables) d’uneorganisation.Ne pas voirdonc G-IT comme un luxe Peace-and-Love.As a future manager and decision maker, be aware that impacts of those decisions are not limited to the scope of the financial statement.
- Re-inforcing again the need to orchestrate various profiles towards a single direction.GREEN-OF ITA few questions should be answered:What is priority for corporate ?Do I introduce new risks ?What are the side-effects ?Do I have enough maturity ?More?GREEN-BY ITSmart GridsSmart BuildingsSmart CitiesOptimizing transportationImproved Waste ManagementMore?
- Need for all actors of the IT storyFirst two questions also highlight the need for comparing “pure CO2” and other GHGs% IT energy consumption in the servicing industry : 50 à 70 %We won’t enter here into the various models to help create some common ground for such publications; just bear in mind that although measuring Scope is not that easy to determine; not to speak when part of the computing power is virtualized to the cloud.Si l’onveut comparer ifférents DCs, ilestévidentqel’on a besoin d’un standard;Si l’onveutvoir son propre DC (sapropreinformatique) évoluer, il “suffit” de bien fixer son propre scope et s’ytenir.Highlight the fact that the graphic demonstrat a number of direct actors the (only) the enrgy consumption issue : Procurement chooses the Energy providers, Facilities build DC, Infra chooses and manages Equipments,… developers optimize CPU usage for a certain work to be achived (efficiency) while Analysts and business help making things effective.
- Although focus is often set onto OpEx (here energy consumption), we see that the total impact on environment is far broader.Still, Usage is often made primary focus for two reasons:Can be solved by operational actionsDirectly linked to financial (non) waste’ve tried to give you some hint on what’s going on in a datacenter in terms of global warming (CO2 emissions) Let’s try to further open our minds and consider an extensive impact of a device onto environment.Other people (outside of IT are to be involved as well)Embrayericisur des réflexionsd’éco-système et donc de sustainability
- Just want to throw a few ideas on the subject because more and more hype(see even l’Echoendof august)
- Rappelerquel’on en a déjà touché un mot qd on a parlé de UK
- Cloud is certainly part of the solution; (it brings of course far more that green positive returns)Still it involves a lot of parties, has dramatic impact on human resources and must be considered as a strategic decision that must be fully prepared.
- And things are getting worse !!Opposite trends : need for IT to decrease its footprint … but the consumption for IT growth bigger and bigger.I hope I could convince you that IT IS a poluting industry;There is room for improvementThings can only get worse and worse with ever increasing demand for IT services.Besoin de R&DStdSkillsInteroperabilitéNetworkingCyberCrimemgt

- We’ve see the biggest challenge is to align all stakeholders in a single direction3 reasons:MarketingAccuracy of Assessment – because holistic topic requires global reachingPrepare ground for change management - & set up the right network of communication.Who’s responsible for what ?
- Some may argue the approach is too much mechanical; still, it is interesting to compare with Delphi-like
- COBIT highlightsRisk … in our development roadmap !!Interesting to note because nothing obvious has been stated at the business level would have been expected to lead to Risk … Still it is aligned with our own Roadmap (elaborated out of COBIT !!)COBIT missesStrategy AlignmentCapacity ManagementMapping Matrices shall be reviewed in the context of holistic initiatives like Green-IT(or in-accurate / un-precise business goals setting)
