    Carbon Footprints from Enterprises to Product Instances: The Potential of the EPC Network
    (INFORMATIK 2008. Beherrschbare Systeme - dank Informatik. Band 2, 2008) Dada, Ali; Staake, Thorsten
    A growing number of companies quantify and report the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their activities. Collecting this data on a company-level facilitates the participation in emission trading programs and underlines the corporate social responsibility activities. However, enabling individual consumers to choose products with favorable “carbon footprints” requires data on the level of individual products, or even better, on item-level, also capturing information on transportation, cooling, etc. For providing such dynamic and fine granular measurements, the relevant enterprise information systems should be adapted accordingly. We present in this paper a spectrum of greenhouse gas reporting activities of increasing granularity and propose how companies can use EPC Information Services to reach a high level of reporting granularity.

    OEPI: A Network Solution for Managing Organizations’ Environmental Performance Indicators
    (EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 2: Open Data and Industrial Ecological Management, 2012) Dada, Ali; Müller, Katrin; Abad, José Antonio López; Bracher, Shane
    Companies use Environmental Performance Indicators (EPIs) such as CO2 emissions and water consumption to monitor and reduce the impact of their operations and products on the environment. Various IT solutions are used today to manage these EPIs, however, these suffer from three shortcomings. They do not sufficiently address the business user, they barely touch upon the inter-organizational aspects, and they typically suffer from data availability and quality issues. Addressing these challenges is the aim of the research project OEPI whose approach and results are the subject of this paper. OEPI proposes a new solution aimed at the business user, designed for extensibility, and with particular mechanisms that foster inter-organizational cooperation and high-quality data incorporation. The goal is to provide a many-to-many business network that enables users to easily provision, share, and manage their EPIs.
