点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Reducing the environmental impact and increasing the environmental sustainability of organisations is a priority for Australia. Technology is meant to assist in this challenge, but knowledge is lacking about how information systems can meaningfully assist organisations in becoming sustainable. The goal of this project is to develop and test a theory of Green Information Systems, which describes design principles for information systems that allow organisations to engage in sustainability sense-making and implement sustainable practices. The outcomes are expected to assist in the development of systems to support sustainability initiatives, the management of sustainability programs, and the reduction of organisations' environmental footprint.
