An Entity-Centric Approach To Green Information Systems.
In: 19th European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS 2011), January 2011.
Abstract
The integration of sustainable thinking and performance within day-to-day business activities has
become an important business need. Sustainable business requires information on the use, flows and
destinies of energy, water, and materials including waste, along with monetary information on
environment-related costs, earnings, and savings. Creating this holistic view of economic, social and
environmental information is not a straightforward mission from an IT perspective, and implies
tackling several challenges such as information granularity and overload, the different projections of
the same factual information, and the heterogeneity of information systems. In this paper, we propose
an entity-centric approach to Green Information Systems to assist organisations in forming a cohesive
representation of the environmental impact of their business operations at both micro- and macrolevels. Initial results from a Small Medium-size Enterprise case study are discussed along with future
research directions.
