AB  - Global warming is a major concern to all. The ICT is without doubt plays a significant role to the
global economy. However, the ICT has been found to be one of the reasons for global footprints. The total
electrical energy consumption by data centers, servers and computers is steadily increasing. Thus, firms are
urged to address the environmental and commercial goals simultaneously rather than as a trade-off as the
sustainability of economic, social and environment capitals must be satisfied for long run success. However,
the fundamental role of green IT for sustainability is often not given an adequate attention. Hence, in this
study, we seek to explore issues and challenges related to green IT implementation. We provide an intensive
review of green IT and how it relates to sustainability. Then based on an in-depth discussion with two
organizations, we discuss our findings as the related aspects of implementation issues. Finally we offer a model
for promoting and motivating green IT in organizations. Such effort is significance as it will become a point of
reference for adopting and implementing green IT for greener world.
