The climate change phenomenon, directly or indirectly, affects industries
and nations. Governments and organizations have been challenged to identify
their environmental impacts to address environmental sustainability issues.
A promising, yet under-studied in this context, theme of information
systems (IS) literature that has the potential to help with identifying,
quantifying and managing environmental impacts is business process
management (BPM). With its focus on continual process performance
improvement, the capacity of BPM to contribute to Environmental
Sustainability (ES) needs to be further explored. Yet, contributions from
the BPM research community and the impact of these contributions appear to
be fragmented. In this paper, we present a systematic literature review to
explore BPM contributions to ES, with a focus on environmental performance
indicators (EPIs) as well as relevant organizational factors related to ES
and BPM. In doing so, we identify and explore ‘Green BPM’ contributions and
suggest ways to advance BPM research in the context of ES.

*Call for Papers*

AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global Information Systems
(IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the Australasian
context.

Topics cover core IS theory development and application (the nature of
data, information and knowledge; formal representations of the world, the
interaction of people, organisations and information technologies; the
analysis, design and deployment of information systems; the impacts of
information systems on individuals, organisations and society), IS domains
(e-business, e-government, e-learning, e-law, etc) and IS research
approaches.

Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of
epistemological methods are welcomed.

All manuscripts undergo double blind reviewing by at least 2 well qualified
reviewers. Their task is to provide constructive, fair, and timely advice
to authors and editor.

AJIS welcomes research and conceptual development of the IS discipline
based
in a very wide range of epistemologies. Different types of research paper
need to be judged by different criteria. Here are some assessment criteria
that may be applied:

•       Relevance - topic or focus is part of the IS discipline.
•       Effectiveness - paper makes a significant contribution to the IS
body of knowledge.
•       Impact - paper will be used for further research and/or practice.
•       Uniqueness - paper is innovative, original & unique.
•       Conceptual soundness - theory, model or framework made explicit.
•       Argument - design of the research or investigation is sound;
methods appropriate.
•       Clarity - Topic is clearly stated; illustrations, charts & examples
support content.
•       Reliability - data available; replication possible.
•       References - sound, used appropriately, and sufficient –
appropriate AJIS articles referenced
•       Style - appropriate language, manuscript flows.

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle
that making research freely available to the public supports a greater
global exchange of knowledge.

AJIS has been published since 1993 and appears in the Index of Information
Systems Journals, is ranked "A" by both the Australian Council of
Professors and Heads of Information Systems and the Australian Business
Deans' Council.

In addition to web distribution, AJIS is distributed by EBSCO, it is listed
in Cabell's International Directory and is indexed by EBSCO, Elsevier,
