企业管理和改善其环境可持续性的压力正在稳步增加。尽管在IS社区和商业实践中的认识不断提高，但当前的IS解决方案仍处于初始状态。在这方面，可持续性基准被视为一种新颖而有效的工具。然而，可持续性基准面临两大障碍：首先，数据的异质性需要大量的预处理，其次，数据的敏感性导致企业不愿意分享这些数据。我们的贡献是双重的：在分析数据输入问题并确定适当和可用的解决方案后，我们提出了一个安全的可持续性基准服务（SBS）来克服信息共享问题。我们的服务使用同态加密来保护处理过程中的数据，并使用差分隐私来防止报告泄漏。最后，我们详细评估了这种安全的可持续性基准服务的原型实现，并说明其在工业中的适用性。
The pressure on enterprises to manage and improve their environmental sustainability is steadily increasing. Despite the growing awareness in the IS community and business practice, current IS solutions remain in an initial state. Sustainability benchmarking is seen as a novel and effective tool in this context. However, sustainability benchmarking faces two major obstacles: First, the heterogeneity of the data requires significant pre-processing, and, second, the sensitivity of the data causes enterprises to reluctantly share this data. Our contribution is twofold: After analyzing the data input problem and identifying appropriate and available solutions, we present a secure sustainability benchmarking service (SBS) to overcome the information-sharing problem. Our service uses homomorphic encryption to protect the data during processing and differential privacy to protect against leakages from the reports. Finally, we evaluate in detail a prototypical implementation of this secure sustainability benchmarking service and illustrate its applicability in industry.
