Leveraging Green IS in Logistics

A Green IS artifact for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission tracking in logistics is developed and evaluated. Using a design science research approach the artifact’s development was guided by design principles derived from prior Green IS literature. The artifact aims at providing more accurate and detailed information about GHG emissions indispensable for advanced organizational senseand decision-making. Employing a field experiment, evidence is provided that the artifact leads to more accurate and detailed information as well as more seamless and efficient workflows than today’s best-practice approaches, thus showing how design-oriented research in Green IS can support the transition towards to more sustainable business processes.
