Abstract

Businesses are under increasing pressure to mitigate their negative sustainability impacts. Though a large body of Green IS research has focused on the role of information systems in sustainability, managers remain unclear about how leveraging information systems for environmental sustainability can create business value. To help close this sustainability implementation gap, we reviewed 31 articles reporting on Green IS issues published in practitioner journals, and from our analysis provide five recommendations for creating business value from sustainability practices.
