Abstract
Sustainability is the concern of all the organizations now-a-days. At the same time, no organization can survive without the use of technology. So there is a great need to integrate information technology and sustainability. This gives birth to the term Green Information Technology (GIT). This paper is an attempt to attempt to identify the metrics of green information technology for the sustainability of the organizations. Sustainability includes economic and environmental sustainability of the organizations. The researcher has used Molla's GITAM model as base model and extended it to identify the various metrics for sustainability of organizations. The researcher has identified Top Management support, Government support, Green IT Attitude, Green IT Policies, Green IT Practices, Green IT Technology as metrics that should be aligned with business processes to achieve the environmental and economic sustainability. The researcher contends in this paper that there is an earnest requirement for organizations to align those metrics with business processes to achieve sustainability. The results of this study help the organizations to make strategies related to green information technology for their economic and environmental sustainability. In this regard, this study fills the gap between the metrics of green information technology, its alignment with business processes and sustainability of organizations
