Abstract

Companies are increasingly using environmental management information systems (EMISs) to systematically gather, process and make available information on their environmental impact. However, the strategic and environmental impact of an EMIS mostly remains limited. Based on a case study of a shadow EMIS implemented by a major German chemical products company that produced planned and unexpected benefits, we provide recommendations for IS leaders on how to design and implement an EMIS that promotes eco-sustainability and provides business value.(1, 2)
