The purpose of this article is to identify various drivers which influence the information communication technology (ICT) departments of collaborative enterprises (CEs) to infuse green information technology (Green IT) and green information systems (Green IS's) as well as the Green IT/IS practices into their organizations. The identified Green IT/IS drivers and practices were derived from an extensive literature review and later validated based on a multi-case study conducted in four enterprises. Findings from the case study support management and practitioner understanding and initiate environmentally friendly practices for sustainability attainment. Respectively, the Green IT/IS drivers and practices presented in this study adds to the body of knowledge by associating and structuring both managerial and practitioner implications for Green IT/IS infusion and assimilating into ICT departments of CE.
