Abstract

This paper proposes a new Green Government IT index to assess the environmentallyresponsible use of computers and other resources by theinformation technology departments of government institutions and nonprofit organizations. The methodologyused in the paper relies on the established literature on index construction and the existing models for evaluatingthe environmental sustainability of information and communications technologies. The paper discusses theconceptual and theoretical foundations behind the new index and defines a set of verifiable, comparable, and transparentindicators for index construction. This framework allows for future index revisions as the green agenda evolves. The newindex could be the first step before more resource-intensive assessments to inform an organization’s long-termenvironmentally sustainable strategy.
