July 2011 Committed to Connecting the World Purpose The assessment framework intends to help the ICT sector understand: various environmental management standards and guidelines that could apply to it; the interaction of these standards and guidelines when applied to the same assessment target and criteria, and the relationships between the standards and guidelines when viewed as part of an assessment framework table. This assessment framework aims to provide: an overall view of most assessment targets and assessment criteria, and a description of the relationships between assessment targets and assessment criteria to help understand: their application; their inter-dependencies; where they are complementary; where they supplement each other; how they might be competitive. 3
