Overview
ISO/IEC 19770-1:2017/Amd 1:2024 is an amendment to the international standard for IT asset management systems (ITAMS). The amendment introduces climate action considerations into Part 1 (Requirements). It requires organizations to assess whether climate change is a relevant issue for their IT asset management system and highlights that interested parties may impose climate-related requirements.
Key topics and requirements
- Climate relevance assessment (Clause 4.1)
- Organizations shall determine whether climate change is a relevant issue for their IT asset management system.
- Interested parties and climate requirements (Clause 4.2)
- The amendment adds a note that relevant interested parties can have requirements related to climate change, prompting organizations to include these in their ITAM planning and stakeholder analysis.
- Integration implication
- The change emphasizes the need to integrate environmental and climate considerations into IT asset lifecycle decisions, policy, and stakeholder management (planning, risk identification, and requirements capture).
Applications
- ITAM program integration with sustainability goals
- Use this amendment to align IT asset inventories, procurement, disposal, and lifecycle management with organizational climate action and net-zero strategies.
- Risk and compliance management
- Incorporate climate-related risks and stakeholder expectations into ITAM risk registers, supplier assessments, and contract clauses.
- Reporting and governance
- Support sustainability reporting by ensuring IT asset management processes capture climate-relevant data (e.g., energy use, end-of-life impacts) where applicable.
- Who will use it
- CIOs, IT asset managers, ITAM practitioners, sustainability officers, auditors, and consultants engaged in IT governance, procurement, and compliance will find this amendment directly relevant.
Practical value
- Encourages proactive evaluation of climate impacts across IT asset lifecycles.
- Helps organizations demonstrate due diligence by documenting consideration of climate change in ITAMS scope and stakeholder requirements.
