IT Standards for Environmental, Social, and Governance Sustainability
SustainableIT, Monday, September 28th, 2026
Technology is the critical path to business sustainability, and IT leaders have a unique opportunity to transform their functions, enterprises and industries for a sustainable future. The more than 200 IT-tailored ESG standards featured below provide a cross-industry, consistent set of topics and metrics for measuring, tracking and reporting technology’s ESG impact.
About the standards
Each of the standard topics and metrics on the website has a unique SustainableIT (SIT) code to better identify it for reference and reporting. And many of the standards include hover-over notes that provide additional information. The first letter, E, S, or G represents the category. Second letters indicate a Function or Enterprise focus.
The SustainableIT Standards Taxonomy report is the official documentation for SustainableIT's ESG standards. It maintains revision history, defines key environmental terms, and provides links to references and sites.
