Abstract

This study demonstrates how a maturity model on Green ICT can help organisations improve themselves and become more environmental sustainable in a standard and efficient manner. For this we have used the SURF Green ICT Maturity Model and facilitated the use of this model in four organisations. These organisations participated in a maturity scan, evaluation session to discuss the results of the scan and a questionnaire on the use of the model. This field study showed that individual participants were very positive about the use of such a model and that it provided inspiration for improvement, both to reduce the environmental impact of ICT as well as to use ICT as an green solution for other business processes.
