Trends in Sustainable Development in the Information Technology Sector

Sustainability is increasingly becoming a key focus in the Information
Technology (IT) sector as businesses and consumers alike gain
greater awareness of the environmental, social, and economic
consequences of technology. This paper examines the current
sustainability trends within the IT industry, with an emphasis on
green computing, energy efficiency, circular economy practices,
and responsible sourcing. The study adopted a descriptive literature
survey comprising of research papers, articles on web, reports but
did not include PhD thesis and project reports. The discussion of
these trends is further enriched by an analysis of industry-specific
challenges and the role of innovation in promoting sustainability.
The paper concludes with suggestions for future actions to
strengthen the IT industry’s impact on sustainable development
