    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.

    Environmental-oriented information systems design - the concept of life cycle impact modelling and its application to cloud computing
    (Informatik 2014, 2014) Stiel, Florian; Teuteberg, Frank
    Information technology is increasingly perceived not only as a driver of economic value creation, but also as a critical factor in the context of environmental sustainability. However, it is uncertain how the adoption of a new information technology within a specific organizational context can be evaluated from an environmental perspective. Consequently, there is a great need for methods relating the organizational use of IT with environmental assessments of different information system design alternatives. This work uses an outwardlooking, problem solving and interdisciplinary research approach to address this problem. It aims to evaluate the environmental impact associated with the use of information technology within an organizational context, proposing an approach to compare different design alternatives for the implementation of an information system. Thus, existing information modelling approaches are extended by (life cycle) impact modelling; a concept that is grounded in the widely considered Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach. The methodological foundation for this work is therefore constructivist and design science oriented.

    On the environmental footprint of an IS conference
    (INFORMATIK 2015, 2015) Stiel, Florian; Teuteberg, Frank
    The IS research community has paid significant attention to climate change and other ecological problems. However, the communities own environmental footprint has been subject to little research so far. This work reports on the results of a Life Cycle Assessment that was conducted to identify the main determinants for the environmental footprint of an IS conference. It brings up the painful subject that also the scientific community has its substantial contribution to environmental degradation. Our work suggests that this contribution can be significantly reduced by only a few very effective instruments. Scientists are encouraged to enter the discourse on the environmental footprint of academic work in order to enhance Green IS research.

    Web-Portal und Reifegradmodell für ein Benchmarking des betrieblichen Umweltmanagements
    (INFORMATIK 2013 – Informatik angepasst an Mensch, Organisation und Umwelt, 2013) Frehe, Volker; Stiel, Florian; Teuteberg, Frank
    Das wachsende Bewusstsein von Verbrauchern für die ökologische Wirkung von Produkten und Dienstleistungen hat auch bei vielen Unternehmen zu einem Umdenken geführt. Ein betriebliches Umweltmanagement (UM) dient heute nicht mehr ausschließlich der Erfüllung gesetzlicher Auflagen, sondern dem Dialog mit Stakeholdern oder einer Verbesserung der Energieund Ressourceneffizienz von Geschäftsprozessen. Die Entwicklung des UM ist jedoch in den einzelnen Branchen und Unternehmen stark divergent. In diesem Beitrag wird ein branchenübergreifendes Instrument zur Erfassung und Beurteilung des betrieblichen UM vorgestellt. Das Instrument wurde mit Hilfe des Design Science Ansatzes entwickelt und prototypisch als Web-Portal implementiert. Der Implementierung liegt ein Reifegradmodell zur Beurteilung des UM auf Basis etablierter Normen zum Umweltmanagement zu Grunde. Für Unternehmen bietet sich durch die Nutzung des Web-Portals die Möglichkeit eines brancheninternen oder branchenübergreifenden Vergleichs ihres UM. Für die Wissenschaft eröffnen sich Möglichkeiten zur Analyse des aktuellen Stands des betrieblichen Umweltmanagements über eine große Anzahl an Unternehmen hinweg.
