Effects of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on Sustainability—An Empirical Study
Today, sustainability is a key component of business strategy, with more and more companies, nongovernmental agencies and governments defining their sustainability goals and initiatives.

The Dow Jones Sustainability Index (www.sustainability-indexes.com) measures corporate performance in terms of the quality of strategy and management, as well as a company’s ability to manage risks deriving from economic, environmental and social development. Additionally, academic institutions are actively involved in sustainability efforts such as “campus greening.” Student-driven organizations, like NetImpact, for instance, have been actively involved in sustainability and are helping to drive change.
