Abstract
Sustainable development in the information technology industry is known as Green IT. Considering the need to generate consistent and sustainable IT projects, this paper presents a study on how Green IT criteria are used in the portfolio selection of information technology infrastructure projects. Method used was the multiple case studies, characterized by a qualitative evaluation. Object of this work was composed of sustainable companies whose shares are traded on the stock exchange, considering sustainability indexes. In addition to analysing the project portfolio management process, this work identified ten criteria that can be used to select information technology projects. We found that these criteria are not cost generators, but act on the tripod of cost reduction, maintenance or performance improvement and sustainability.
