It is informed by such frameworks as COBIT, ITIL, ISO 14001, and ESG and dedicated to sustainable governance through virtualization, renewable integration, circular hardware, and responsible disposal. The IT operations will be more transparent, efficient, and real-time monitoring of the environment thanks to the new technologies of AI, IoT, and blockchain. It is proved using the case studies of Microsoft, Google, AWS and Dell in which global leaders are seeking to grow digitally and reduce carbon emissions and the circular economy. Despite this, the obstacles that organizations go through are very expensive costs of implementation, old infrastructure and policy fragmentation. Another observation made in the chapter is that effective implementation of Green IT should be accompanied with harmonised governance, policy incentives and organisational culture shift towards accountability.
