Topics:

					Due to the growing awareness that business organizations are a major
contributor to the exploitation of scarce natural resources, the
increasing pollution of the environment, and the looming threat of climate
change, several questions surrounding the concept of environmental
sustainability have attracted the interest of management scholars around
the globe. This especially holds for the field of Information Systems
research given the cross-functional role of information systems within
organizations as well as across entire value chains. Scholars have begun
to explore the opportunities that information systems offer in support of
sustainability under the term “Green Information Systems.” As information
systems have been a major contributor to productivity growth and
efficiency gains over the past decades their role in the development of
sustainable business practices definitely warrants further investigation.
Notably, it has been asserted that information systems occupy a unique
role as they are both a contributor and a potential solution to
environmental degradation.

					Potential topics range from the design of systems and digital
services for environmental sustainability to the application of existing
theories on change at individual, group, and organizational levels, as
well as the development of novel theory. We invite rigorous and relevant
studies employing a wide variety of methods. Empirical (qualitative and
quantitative) studies as well as design-oriented research and conceptual
papers on theory development will be considered. In order to fully
incorporate technical and business aspects, we welcome contributions from
a broad spectrum of disciplines including business and information systems
engineering, management, operations management, computer science,
marketing, and economics.
