Just like other fields, IT has an impact on the environment. To effectively reduce the impact, it must first be assessed so that realistic and efficient actions can be proposed. That is the reason why we propose a methodology that enables organizations that want to work on sustainability in IT to do so independently in a reproductible way. Using an LCA approach that takes into account IT equipment and its electricity consumption, MITSI enables organizations to assess the carbon footprint of the IT services they provide and to share the results with the users of those services. By using MITSI, organizations will improve their knowledge on factors to consider and skills required to assess a carbon footprint for an IT service. They will have a better understanding of their infrastructure and will be able to propose measures to reduce their environmental impact.
