Book Description
While the climate crisis poses a threat to planetary health, digital transformation continues to reshape our societies. The challenge for technology leaders is no longer understanding why sustainability matters but knowing how to take decisive, responsible action. This book gives you the clarity, confidence, and tools to drive meaningful change.
Updated with the latest trends, case studies, and insights, including responsible and sustainable AI lifecycle governance, it walks you through every stage of developing and implementing a sustainable IT strategy.
The book is structured in three parts. Part 1 explores the "why," grounding you in the reality of the urgent climate crisis we face today, how we arrived here, the planetary boundaries we must restore, and the broader impact of IT on society. Part 2 covers the "what," outlining the practical actions you can take to drive meaningful returns on sustainable investments and build a greener future. Part 3 focuses on the "how," establishing baselines, setting direction, and applying real-world case studies to help you translate intent to impactful global outcomes.
Whether you're building a sustainability strategy from the ground up or enhancing existing initiatives, this book prepares you to lead the way with confidence and deliver outcomes that matter.
