Sustainable development is one of the important aspects of any society's progress to maintain resources for future generations, to continue to develop and to benefit from clean land, and to use sustainable development with the environment. Green Information Technology (GIT) is a way to achieve these goals, which, in addition to providing sustainable development, assures the organization in organizational sustainability that it means sustaining the success and satisfaction of the stakeholders and adapting its behavior to the environment. This research seeks to design a model for the development of organizational sustainability through GIT. This study is an applied research from the objective point of view and a descriptive research based on the research method which is a mixed type. First, using the literature review and qualitative analysis, the indicators and components of GIT and organizational sustainability were extracted. Then, using 32 experts’ points of view, the indicators were evaluated through three stages of Delphi method. Sampling method at this stage was snowball. To implement the quantitative method, an online questionnaire was designed and forwarded to the statistical population including experts, senior managers of IT, and experts in the field of IT in the country. A total of 198 valid questionnaires were received and analyzed using structural equation modeling and partial least squares method. The results indicate that GIT with dimensions (green preparedness, ICT as enabler (low carbon), green actions and activities, GIT cycle management, organization of green data centers, green information monitoring) can be used for sustainability of organizations.
