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.
