Together with tackling cost of public services, the green agenda sits at the heart of
Government. In response to the challenge to be the “Greenest Government ever”1
,
the Greening Government Commitments were published in March 2011. This
„Greening Government: ICT strategy‟ describes how government ICT will contribute
to those commitments and deliver financial savings in addition to efficient, green
practices. It sets out the green ICT commitments and actions that central
government departments, their agencies and arms length bodies, will take over the
next four years. Aligning with the Government‟s transparency and efficiency agenda,
it recognises the importance of clear reporting against them and sets out how
government will measure progress by departments, and aggregating this to give a
whole of government report on an annual basis.
