With more focus being put into sustainability and the environment by companies of all sizes coming from different industries, the need to apply sustainability concepts to the Information Technology sector becomes more heightened. This lightning talk will cover key concepts of Green IT and technology sustainability as applied in identified IT areas to help you decide whether to introduce or implement it in your organization or not.

Topics that will be covered during the talk include the following: (1) Driving factors triggering focus on sustainability, (2) Green IT and technology sustainability concept, (3) Benefits of Green IT solutions, (4) Major governing Principles of Green IT, and (5) Real-word applications of Green IT.
