TBM GreenOps Certification

Dedicated to empowering technology leaders to operationalize sustainability through measurable standards, executive certification, and peer collaboration.

What is GreenOps?

GreenOps is the operational discipline that brings environmental accountability to technology management. It equips IT leaders with the standards, metrics, and practices to reduce environmental impact across the entire technology lifecycle—without compromising performance or value delivery.

The TBM GreenOps framework focuses on five core areas:

Green Infrastructure & Data Centers
Designing and managing compute environments that prioritize energy efficiency, sustainable cooling, and responsible hardware use.

Circular IT & Device Lifecycle Management
Extending the life of IT assets through reuse, refurbishment, and responsible recycling, while minimizing e-waste and embedded emissions.

Energy Optimization & Cloud Efficiency
Right-sizing workloads, improving utilization, and optimizing cloud architectures to reduce power consumption and carbon footprint.

Sustainable Procurement & Vendor Accountability
Embedding sustainability criteria into sourcing decisions, supplier governance, and vendor partnerships across the IT value chain.

Measurement, Reporting & Governance
Establishing consistent standards to track emissions, energy use, and sustainability performance, enabling transparent ESG reporting and executive oversight.

GreenOps extends the principles of Technology Business Management (TBM) by integrating sustainability as a key business outcome—making it possible to manage environmental impact with the same discipline used to manage cost, performance, and value.
