Abstract
In an attempt to reduce the effect of global warming, tremendous research works are now focusing on greening ICT and greening by ICT. As such several maturity models have been designed to track the progress of an organisation. However, these models are not easily accessible by Small Medium Enterprises due to the high cost involves in consulting. Thus, based upon existing maturity framework, this paper presents a self green ICT maturity assessment tool which has the properties of being simple, efficient and accessible. Some business benefits with respects to the proposed green ICT maturity self-assessment tool are also illustrated.
