AQCLab has collaborated with the Alarcos Research Group (J. David Patón-Romero and Mario Piattini) of the University of Castilla-La Mancha and with the University of Bari (Maria Teresa Baldassarre) in the development of the work "Application of ISO 14000 to Information Technology Governance and Management", published in the journal Computer Standards & Interfaces of ScienceDirect, Volume 65.

The article presents a proposal for the implementation of Green IT initiatives within the framework of the ISO 14000 family of standards, bringing it closer to the area of Information Technology, which has traditionally not been taken into consideration and which is highly relevant for organizations concerned about sustainability.

It is an adequate and coherent proposal, validated by experts, which covers all areas related to Information Technologies. Thus, this proposal demonstrates the applicability of the ISO 14000 family of standards to IT by means of Green IT, presenting a complete framework that is useful in practice when implementing the governance and management of Green IT.

Thanks to this proposal, organizations have a standardized guide not only for the implementation of Green IT, but also for obtaining international and recognized certifications in this field.
