Abstract

This study explores green Information Technology (IT) strategies aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aiming to analyze how sustainability-focused green IT strategies adopted by companies in the field contribute to meeting SDG standards. Through bibliographic research, this study aims to understand how these companies impact the environment and how to identify these impacts, as well as to compare and analyze these companies' practices for potential impact reduction. Among the six selected companies for comparison, it was observed that Apple shows greater alignment with the SDGs compared to Samsung, which exhibited the highest carbon emission rates. The research clarifies that the integration of green IT strategies not only strengthens operational efficiency but also plays a crucial role in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals, standing out as a fundamental component on the journey towards global sustainability.
