*Workshop Plan*Participants are invited to submit Abstracts outlining their
position on topics relevant to Green IS. The workshop chairs will assess
the Abstracts and invite authors of selected abstracts to participate in a
program of events similar to those held by SIGGreen in 2010. Authors will
be asked to put up a presentation of their work online where they will be
scheduled for discussion at the virtual
event<http://siggreen2012program.wikispaces.com/home>.
All participants and the IS community will be asked to participate in these
discussions. At the ECIS2012 workshop, presenters will give a 10 minute
overview of their work followed by audience feedback and discussion.
Authors will then be invited to submit a paper to Sprouts incorporating
feedback from both the virtual event and the ECIS2012 workshop. These
papers will be reviewed and published on Sprouts the AIS e-publishing site
http://sprouts.aisnet.org/
Opinion pieces of any length on the future of the SIGGreen Statement
<http://siggreen.wikispaces.com/The+Statement-Manifesto>(also
referred to as the Manefesto) are also welcome.
*Description:*There is universal realisation of the long term effects of
human and business activities on the natural environment. Given the pace
and magnitude of environmental deterioration, we are all under increasing
pressure to engage in ecologically sustainable practices in addition to
pursuing economical and social outcomes. In this context, SIGGreen, a
Special Interest Group of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) was
formed. The impact and the role of Information Systems (IS) in ecological
sustainability have emerged as critical issues. IS academics and
practitioners are presented with opportunities to educate, investigate and
provide solutions not only to the problem of reducing the ecological
footprint of IS but also how the innovative use of IS can transform and
reduce the environmental impact of individuals, organisations and society
and thus provide leadership in sustainability. This SIGGreen workshop will
explore the development, impact and role of IS in sustainability
initiatives.

In 2010 SIGGreen held a program of activities, which included a virtual
event and a pre-ICIS2010 Workshop, to which papers on the general topic of
Green IS were submitted, presented and published. We used Wikispaces to
support this program (see
http://siggreen-icis2010-workshop.wikispaces.com/<http://siggreen-icis2010-workshop.wikispaces.com/home>
)
>From these a set of core themes were identified to guide and stimulate
development of the field of Green IS. In order to continue this process of
development we will invite submission of abstract on these themes to the
ECIS2012 Workshop leading to papers thatwill be added to the existing
SIGGreen Proceedings collection on Sprouts,
