Interdisciplinary Environmental Review (IER), Vol. 18, No. 1, 2017

Abstract: Sustainability has become a norm in recent years, with realisation of various laws and regulations to protect environment. Business world also understands the significance of environment sustainability and incorporated it as one of the major activities under corporate social responsibilities (CSR). Even IT industry is not behind. IT Industry faces a massive challenge to go green since it utilises the hazardous material to produce hardware which generates a lot of e-waste. Fortunately, IT giants practice the manufacturing, usage and discarding various computer hardware components in more efficient way that minimises damage to the environment. On the other side, where there is significant rise in number of IT small and medium enterprises (SME), these units do not realise the importance of environment sustainability, which is primarily due to cost constraint. The paper proposes a model assisting IT industry, especially IT SMEs, to pursue the goal of environment sustainability so as to get a real value of IT.
