Abstract

Information technology's (IT) rapid expansion has raised previously unheard-of environmental problems, which have sparked a paradigm shift towards sustainable practises known as "Green IT." This study investigates the intricate topic of green information technology (Green IT) with the goal of reducing the environmental effect of technology-driven activities. This study explores many approaches that include ecologically friendly software development methods, energy-efficient hardware, and conscientious e-waste management, with an emphasis on the critical relationship between technological innovation and ecological conservation. It offers a thorough summary of the effects of Green IT on organisational sustainability and its implications for global ecosystems by combining case studies, industry best practises, and current trends. This study also examines the barriers to broader adoption and offers practical recommendations for promoting an IT environment that is more ecologically conscientious. Looking ahead, this study emphasises how Green IT may change the information technology industry and is a crucial element in creating a sustainable future for the industry.
