    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.

    Enable students to acquire new hands-on software experience using the modular teaching assistance system
    (INFORMATIK 2021, 2021) Dmitriyev, Viktor; Janßen, Christian; Solsbach, Andreas
    As long as learning management systems (LMS) are offering a predefined set of functionalities and could be not flexible enough for changes and improvements. Especially, it could be difficult to enable usage of a new software tool, which is required only by a special teaching curriculum and when change requests are relevant only for a particular course of study. Thus, incorporating innovative technologies into existing learning platforms could be a very challenging task. However, this Problem can be addressed through the latest IT technologies in combination with innovative teaching methodologies. In this work, students are supported in acquiring better hands-on experience using real software in real scenarios. It is done in a way that such scenarios and tools are directly embedded into a teaching curriculum. The introduced modular teaching assistance system helps to simplify installation, configure, and data wrangling phases and enables students to focus on primary tasks, which is solving scenario problems, rather than spend valuable time and deal with software as such. On one hand, the system takes care of various problems with installation and configuration for students, on the other hand, the system is modular and enables adaptation of an innovative teaching experience by being flexible and extensible by design.

    Environmental Footprinting in the IT-for-Green Project – A CEMIS Use Case
    (Proceedings of the 27th Conference on Environmental Informatics - Informatics for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Development and Risk Management, 2013) Solsbach, Andreas; Rapp, Barbara; Teuteberg, Frank; Gräuler, Matthias; Stiel, Florian; Renatus, Fabian; Vornberger, Jan
    This paper presents functionality and design elements of a Corporate Environmental Management Information System (CEMIS) in the project IT-for-Green: Next Generation CEMIS for Environmental, Energy and Resource Management . The CEMIS under development in the IT-for-Green project uses a service-oriented architecture whose functionality will be demonstrated by means of a use case. Despite the theoretical development of CEMIS for as long as 20 years, CEMISs are not commonly used by companies. There is a substantial gap between the research and the use of CEMISs in companies, which the paper at hand aims to reduce by proposing a flexible and adoptable architecture to support companies in their current efforts. The developments in the case of company communication and the demands of stakeholders, especially in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting, require handling. The development in the company communication and scientific community imply the extension of environmental to sustainability reporting which includes environmental, social and economic aspects. Current CEMIS are required to handle more and more business processes (as data source etc.) in the daily business of companies; the paper will indicate benefits of using an integrated CEMIS in the information technology (IT) landscape of a company. The paper will briefly introduce the IT-for-Green project and the software developed. The main focus is on a real world example the paper shows how our CEMIS can be used to assess the environmental impact of a product.

    Inter-organisational Sustainability Reporting – A harmonized XRBL approach based on GRI G4 XBRL and further Guidelines
    (Proceedings of the 28th Conference on Environmental Informatics - Informatics for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Development and Risk Management, 2014) Solsbach, Andreas; Isenmann, Ralf; Marx Gómez, Jorge; Teuteberg, Frak
    The ongoing development and the alterations of sustainability reporting, like the change towards internet-based reporting which allows stakeholder orientation and integration of supply chain disclosure, will lead to an increased generation of sustainability reports (or corporate social responsibility reporting). By April 2012, 53% of the S&P 500 companies provide corporate sustainability reports and 63% are based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, 5% are referencing towards GRI so that only 32% are non-GRI reports. This is a huge increase of sustainability reporting compared to 19%-20% in 2011. [1] A proposed Directive of the Council of the European Communities [2] regarding the disclosure of nonfinancial and diversity information by certain large companies and groups, what will be realized by sustainability reports, will possible lead to mandatory reporting instead of voluntary reporting. Larger companies and groups will force their suppliers to report impacts of their processes and products in the supply chain due to supply chain disclosure. Therefore, companies are forced to reduce efforts in the process of generating a sustainability report, increase the value and accessibility of reports by machine readable reports. The paper will present the approach of inter-organizational sustainability reporting to enrich the current GRI G4 XBRL [3] version towards an inter-organisational reporting. Further guidelines for harmonizing such as United Nations Global Compact [4], Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises [5], Eco Management and Audit Scheme III [6] and European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies [7] to overcome the necessity to use bridge documents will be shown. Further, ideas how to integrate the inter-organisational sustainability reporting approach will be discussed.

    iSTORM – Idea and Reference Architecture approaching Inter-organisational sustainability Reporting
    (Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Solsbach, Andreas; Isenmann, Ralf; Marx Gómez, Jorge
    The paper describes an approach for inter-organisational sustainability reporting. This approach is based on an open source software tool “Sustainable Online Reporting Model” developed at the University of Oldenburg. The idea of sustainability reporting across a single reporting entity like a company originated from the field of financial reporting. Later on Kasperzak (2003) presented an approach in which a network of corporations is treated as a single economic entity with the aim to get an extended consolidated financial statement. This approach is considered to fuel current discussions in sustainability reporting around issues like: Where to set reporting boundaries and how to enlarge reporting entities. This paper is research in progress. First, the idea of inter-organisational sustainability reporting is presented. The focus here is to enlarge reporting boundaries to an inter-organisational entity and to create a sustainability report covering an inter-organisational perspective. Such report from a collective perspective opens a window of new opportunities and provides added value compared to current sustainability reports of single entities. Second, a reference architecture for an “Inter-organisational Sustainable Online Reporting Model” is proposed.

    IT-for-Green: Next Generation CEMIS for Environmental, Energy and Resource Management
    (Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Rapp, Barbara; Solsbach, Andreas; Mahmoud, Tariq; Memari, Ammar; Bremer, Jörg
    Contemporary CEMIS do not cope with requirements from the sustainability discussion. At the time of reporting environmental performance, it is too late to set the right course. Without an early identification of cause and effect to anticipate environmental impacts of decisions for timely intervention, potentials for acting precautious remain unemployed. A resource-friendly design of processes and their controlling demands for sustainability oriented organizational structures. The methodical view is often neglected. Innovative solutions are in demand. This versatile task may not be accomplished by science alone. Thus, the ertemis network (http://www.ertemis.eu) supports a new project to further the development of next generation CEMIS. Integrated modules will map the whole product life cycle from input (energy efficiency), transformation processes (production and green logistics) up to the output side (communication and reporting). In this paper, we introduce the IT-for-Green project (http://www.it-for-green.eu) and give an overview of the modules and the objectives we want to achieve.

    Sustainability Reporting in Networks
    (Environmental Informatics and Industrial Environmental Protection: Concepts, Methods and Tools, 2009) Solsbach, Andreas; Marx Gómez, Jorge; Isenmann, Ralf
    The current development in the field of sustainability reporting and the rise of environmental information systems in organizations require a redevelopment of sustainability standards. Nowadays, companies are sharing information in increasingly higher amounts than in the 1990s. This leads to a demand for harmonization and support for automated information processing. Financial reporting faces this development e.g. by analyzing information demands of networks, analyzing requirements and interests for a network publicity. Network publicity in financial reporting provides the idea of adapting such developments for sustainability reporting as well. The objective of this paper is to describe and integrate approaches from different fields of research e.g. financial reporting, sustainability reporting, business informatics, environmental business informatics, which will serve as the basis for a later case study of the Eco-industrial park Bremen to be adapted for developing sustainability reporting in networks. In this case study, environmental business informatics with environmental information management and material flow management are used as environmental information sources. Research will finally lead to a reference architecture which will be evaluated in the case study Eco-industrial Park Bremen. The paper highlights different fields of research and approaches used to adopt sustainability reporting for networks.
