As digital technologies increasingly contribute to carbon emissions, enterprises are under increasing pressure to make their IT operations more sustainable. Regulatory mandates, evolving ESG commitments, and stakeholder expectations are pushing organizations to treat IT not just as a backend function, but as a strategic sustainability driver.

Traditionally focused on energy efficiency and hardware lifecycle management, sustainable IT has expanded to encompass cloud sustainability, green software engineering, digital workplaces, and IT asset disposition. This broader scope is increasing enterprise demand for integrated, measurable, and outcome-oriented solutions.

Providers are stepping up to this challenge by delivering sustainability-focused technology transformation services aligning with business and sustainability priorities.

In this report, we explore the evolution of sustainable IT strategies, enterprise adoption trends, and providers’ key role in enabling the transition. We examine key solution areas such as cloud optimization, carbon-aware application development, sustainable IT procurement, and circularity-driven IT operations to offer a practical playbook for providers supporting client-centric sustainability journeys.
