Gartner is developing a number of Green IT initiatives to help organizations address their environmental responsibilities while maintaining or improving costs and service levels. The first is a Green IT Scorecard - a benchmarking framework for analyzing and optimizing IT within the context of environmentally sensitive and externally regulated corporate responsibilities.
