Environmental aspects of using ICT devices in various economic sectors

Purpose: to define a measure of the development of various economic sectors in terms of implementing pro-ecological procedures related to the management of ICT equipment. Methodology/approach: a multidimensional comparative analysis method to assess differences between economic sectors regarding their approach to environmental management of ICT equipment. Findings: significant differences in ICT environmental management approaches across economic sectors. Research limitations/implications: the data collected includes only companies from selected industrial sectors, which may not provide a complete picture of the entire economy. Practical implications: technology sectors can set standards for the sustainable management of ICT equipment.Social implications: shaping public policy related to e-waste management and energy consumption optimisation, and promoting corporate social responsibility. Originality/value: a new perspective on analysing environmental aspects of ICT equipment management, particularly in the context of different industrial sectors. It is particularly useful for policymakers and managers responsible for implementing pro-ecological solutions in companies.
