    Corporate Sustainability Reporting Towards Sustainability Network
    (Environmental Informatics and Industrial Ecology, 2008) Solsbach, Andreas; Gomez, Jorge Marx
    Corporate sustainability reporting is an essential part of corporate communication, which focuses on the environmental impact of business acting. The changed perceptions of the triple bottom line – economical, environmental, and social aspects – accompanied by new technologies, such as eXtensible Business Reporting Language, offer the potential to automate the processing of corporate sustainability reports. In addition by using frameworks, such as enterprise information portals, allows a personalized exchange of information between companies and stakeholders. The approach presented in this paper will show how a sustainability network can be structured and how corporate sustainability reporting will provide an added value for such a network.

    Sustainability Reporting à la Carte – Concept and Implementation of a Software Tool with Shopping Cart Functionality
    (Environmental Informatics and Industrial Ecology, 2008) Isenmann, Ralf; Gomez, Jorge Marx; Süpke, Daniel
    The paper describes the concept and implementation of a software tool with shopping cart functionality that provides sustainability reporting à la carte. Companies could use this new software tool to make sustainability reports available not merely in a “one-size-fits-all” approach as this is usually done, but also rather in any tailored forms: e.g. (i) exactly meeting various reporting requirements like the Global Reporting Initiative’s guidelines (GRI) or the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), and fulfilling (ii) the users’ individual reporting preferences both, in content and media. The software tool is implemented as a web-based sustainability reporting system. Its performance goes far beyond the leading-edge online-approach of the firm O2. Since 2006, O2 provides a so-called “personalized reporting” system on its website that could be regarded as best practice and pioneering effort in sustainability online reporting, so far. In contrast to the progression O2 and other companies – even the award winning ones – have made the last years however, current sustainability (online) reporting practice shows significant room for improvements, particularly in interactivity and target group tailoring. Hence, the concept and implementation of a software tool with shopping cart functionality could be regarded as a promising step forward both, from the reporters’ perspective (companies) as well as from the report users’ point of view (interested parties, stakeholders, target groups etc.).

    Technical Concept of an Integrated Environmental Information System – Case Study Volkswagen AG
    (Managing Environmental Knowledge, 2006) Grünwald, Christian; Gomez, Jorge Marx
    Data sources in industrial enterprises are often used in various tasks, and the amount of business tasks even increases. Consequently, integrated data processing systems are required, that get essential information from heterogeneous source systems and aggregate and process it according to existing requirements. The described concept of an integrated environmental information system represents a distributed integrated system and allows using standard systems as well as individual software for the modules. Besides the modules, that are isolated in view of the respective fields of environmental tasks, the system scenario contains “cross-functional” components. The concept is related to practise in connection with a case study at Volkswagen AG.

    Using Internet Technologies and Services for Sustainability Reporting: Research Initiative, Agenda, Early Results
    (Environmental Informatics and Systems Research, 2007) Isenmann, Ralf; Arndt, Hans-Knud; Brosowski, Jan; Gomez, Jorge Marx; Schappert, Monika
    The paper provides an outline of a research initiative embedded in the environmental informatics community focused on the use of environmental informatics methods and the application of current internet technologies and services with the goal to improve sustainability reporting at corporate level. The outline includes the research agenda and a research map as an illustration covering the different facets of research and implementation as well as further developments that will be dealt with in the near future. The paper is organised in four major parts: First, the early history of the research initiative on internet-based sustainability reporting and major milestones are described with the help of current literature in the field. Based on the above, the research agenda and primary objectives are presented. Such a catalogue of issues seems useful for clarifying the focus of the whole enterprise and perhaps for an evaluation what has been achieved and where further work needs to be done. A research map of the co-operation network provides the whole picture the initiative is focused on. It particularly illustrates the domains in environmental informatics and corporate sustainability reporting that are of relevance to achieve the objectives set in the research agenda. Further, a current project is described. Finally, conclusions are drawn and an outlook is given on how sustainability reporting might evolve in the near future and where to support the developments through ICT.

    Workflow-supported Creation and Administration of XML-based Sustainability Reports
    (Managing Environmental Knowledge, 2006) Isenmann, Ralf; Jordan, Tobias; Gomez, Jorge Marx
    Sustainability reporting is an approach striving for sustainable development which meets environmental, economical and social aspects. It is supported by indicators for sustainable managing as well as by the integration of external costs. In this paper we present the conception of a software prototype for workflow-supported creation and administration of XML-based sustainability reports.
