“…Considering the social aspects of Sustainable IT, many findings arise. While it is difficult for IT to separate social aspects from the economic (Faucheux & Nicolaï, 2011) the fact that the subcategories training and education present adherence, even if moderate, comes into line with Harmon and Auseklis (2009). This strategy relates to the importance of creating a sustainable organizational culture to make the employee more conscientious of issues, opportunities and actions to achieve desired results.…”

Parallel to the development of technology in its different fronts and particularly about the various applications of Information Technology (IT), another trend that has been consolidated in organizations is the search for sustainability. There are initiatives such as Green IT, Sustainable IT, and Green software that combine these two elements (IT and sustainability). In this context, this study aims to identify the presence of sustainability aspects in the COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies) model of IT management. Thus, this article seeks to verify if and how versions 4.1 and 5 of the COBIT model-which guide IT managers in the alignment of technical activities with the organization's strategy-are related to sustainability, through the use of sustainability indicators defined by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) as a representative proxy of sustainability aspects necessary for the user organization of the model. This exploratory research makes use of documental research and presents the following main results: (1) partial alignment of the COBIT model with the generic categories of the GRI, especially the governance category; and (2) it highlights the small relation of this model with broader environmental and social aspects in the same way that it presents relationship limitations with economic aspects evaluated by the GRI.

“…Although the concept of green computing has been there for a long time, it is only in the last decade that the world has witnessed the fast growth of this concept. The main key drivers for the research to develop this concept are the growth of cloud computing and the amount of energy consumption that led to the increase of the carbon footprint on the environment [4].…”

Nowadays, the usage of computers is considered a daily necessity. The extravagant practice involving computer technology demands certain degrees of responsibility on the part of users to avoid or minimize harmful impacts associated with negative affecting the environment. The use of computers, their accessories and resources is the environmentally responsible. Green computing is emerging as a prompting solution to this crisis. Green technology is becoming more desired for the public through the work of governments and environmental organizations, and has been growing recently. Previously, the only focus was on IT equipment power processing while the energy's infrastructure, cooling and data center space is always considered available, certain, and their cost is reasonable. Nowadays, the infrastructure of any data center is the factor that an organization focuses on because it is considered one of the main factors that determine the amount of power consumption in any data center. Behind this change, there are other factors causing the increasing interest of the green computing issue such as fast growing loads of energy cost, growing realization of global warming problems, and increasing the interest of national energy security. This article presents the current and future trends and the challenges that face the researcher in a field of Green Computing to minimize and reduce associated harmful impacts on the environment.

“…Essentially, sustainable computing provides secure computing services to users. Security can be considered the dividing line between non-sustainable and sustainable computing service [3]. Any system is considered unsustainable if it cannot protect data or ensure a required computing quality [3].…”

Information security has been predicted as a barrier for future sustainable computing. Regarding information security of secure sustainable computing, the role of information security managers has received attention. In particular, transformational leadership by information security managers should be stressed for persuading, directing, and controlling management and employees. This study shows that the transformational leadership (in forms such as idealized influence, individualized consideration, and inspirational motivation) of information security managers can improve the effectiveness of information security. The enforcement and relevance of information security policies could be mediating effects on the effectiveness of information security. This study collects data from governmental and public institutions in Korea. This study suggests the need for leadership education programs, and indicates that job training for information security managers should be conducted regularly.
