Launch of the Green IT Framework
Amsterdam, January 28, 2025 – DASCIN (Data Science Institute) is proud to announce the official launch of its Green IT Framework, a comprehensive guide designed to help organizations of all sizes integrate sustainable IT practices into their operations. The framework, which provides a structured approach to achieving sustainability goals while enhancing business performance, is now available in book format for professionals and organizations seeking to make a meaningful impact on both their bottom line and the environment.
As part of this launch, DASCIN also revealed that a corresponding Certification Scheme will be introduced in February 2025. The scheme will offer professionals the opportunity to earn credentials that demonstrate their expertise in Green IT and their ability to drive sustainable technology initiatives within their organizations. The first two certifications, Green IT Awareness and Green IT Foundation, have been specifically developed to provide individuals with the knowledge needed to implement and manage Green IT practices effectively.
The Green IT Framework book, authored by leading experts in the field, outlines essential components such as energy-efficient hardware, virtualization, cloud adoption, and data center optimization, and offers practical guidance on how to adopt these practices incrementally. It is designed to serve as both an educational resource and a strategic roadmap for organizations looking to transition to more environmentally responsible IT operations. The Green IT Framework covers not only technical solutions but also emphasizes the organizational change management necessary to embed sustainability at the heart of IT infrastructure and operations.
Jan-Willem Middelburg, Chief Data Scientist at DASCIN, is excited with the new product line:
“We are excited to launch the Green IT Framework, which represents a crucial step in supporting organizations as they adopt sustainable IT practices. This framework empowers organizations to not only reduce their environmental impact but also realize significant cost savings, improve compliance with regulations, and enhance their brand reputation. We believe that integrating Green IT practices into everyday business operations will become a key differentiator in a world where sustainability is increasingly important to both consumers and regulators.”
DASCIN’s upcoming Green IT Certification Scheme will offer two levels of credentials designed to equip professionals with the knowledge needed to navigate the complex landscape of Green IT. The Green IT Awareness credential will focus on raising awareness about the importance of sustainable IT practices, while the Green IT Foundation certification will provide a deeper understanding of Green IT concepts, techniques, and best practices for implementing and managing green technologies in an organization.
These certifications are expected to be particularly valuable to IT professionals, sustainability managers, and anyone involved in technology decision-making who wants to gain a competitive edge in an increasingly sustainability-conscious market. With the launch of the certification scheme in February 2025, DASCIN aims to establish a global standard for Green IT knowledge and expertise, furthering its mission to support sustainable innovation across industries.
“By offering these certifications, we are not just educating individuals, but also fostering a global network of experts who can drive meaningful change in organizations worldwide,” Middelburg added. “As Green IT continues to gain momentum, the demand for skilled professionals will only grow, and these credentials will equip individuals to be at the forefront of this transformation.”
The Green IT Framework and its associated certifications will be available for purchase and enrollment starting in February 2025. For more information on the Green IT Framework book and the upcoming certification scheme, visit DASCIN’s official website at www.dascin.org.
