Abstract

With the format of theoretical test, this article aims to situate the Green IT model within the theoretical framework of Corporate Sustainability. Considering that Green IT practices are used to reduce the environmental impacts caused by IT activities, a reflexive analysis regarding the use of measures associated to Green IT allows identifying the set of activities that need to be performed for the environmentally sound business processes in organizations and products that are environmentally sound for the market. The research originated from the perception of the complexity that characterizes the aforementioned thematic, due to the technological evolution in the field of information technology, which contributes and reinforces the need to carry out reflective studies that may allow the design of management models cost effective IT solutions for their operation in organizations.
