Toward the next generation of corporate environmental management information systems: What is still missing?

Abstract

This paper outlines the development as well as the technical features of a corporate environmental management information system (CEMIS) and explains how integrated system-oriented information systems can facilitate environmental sustainability in business organizations. Furthermore, the paper discusses implications (lessons learned) of the IT-for-Green project. The paper also discusses further requirements of traditional CEMIS toward a next generation of CEMIS focusing on a more strategic level instead of a compliance approach and on an interactive exchange of information between stakeholders, as well as the realization of synergy effects using green services.
