Zusammenfassung
Corporate sustainability and sustainability management have become key issues in modern
organizations to achieve a more balanced and sustainable development. The IT development has
increasing increased drastically in recent years and in the same way how IT can support the
environmental and sustainability behaviours in business processes it can be part of the solutions to
improve the sustainability performance in organizations. In the last years different projects had
been working in this area, to guide and provide tools for decision makers and stakeholders. IT-for-
Green is one of this projects that propose a new generation of CEMIS that permit to incorporate
the strategic sustainability integration. Another solution, the System of Sustainability Performance
Evaluation supports social, economic and environmental indicators related directly with
organization’s performance distributed over key areas. This paper explores the possibility to
upgrade and integrate those two systems that actually run in different technologies and pattern
designs using web services to facilitate application integration reducing application’s
heterogeneity. A first GET_INDICATORS web service definition and implementation was made,
taking advantage of one of the facilities of IT-for-Green as an open platform.
