[AISWorld] PACIS 2013 Track on Green IT/IS and Sustainability

[Chulmo Koo]

Jeju Island, Korea, June 18th to 22nd, 2013.

Green IT/IS and sustainability have increasingly become important issues
for business in this era of climate change and scarce resources. Green IT
can be defined as computing technologies that are energy-efficient and have
minimal adverse impact on the environment. The salience of technology and
systems in shaping organizations and society suggests that green IT/IS is a
key component of an organization’s environmental initiatives. Furthermore,
sustainability is a moreimportant term that encompasses environmental
concerns including people, processes, technology, and systems to support
individual, organizational, and societal objectives. Beyond the role
of reducing the environmental footprint of technologies, green information
systems can be initiated, adapted, and implemented to  play a key role in
supporting sustainable business practices, e.g., in reducing consumption
and facilitating reuse and recycle. This track focuses on the role of
IT/ISin supporting sustainability initiatives and in balancing the need for
profitability versus the need to address environmental concerns.
