Zusammenfassung

Logistik und insbesondere Straßengütertransporte sind für einen großen Teil der weltweiten Treibhausgasemissionen verantwortlich. Aus diesem Grund ist in dieser Branche die ökologische Nachhaltigkeit besonders wichtig. „Grüne Informationssysteme“ (Green IS) können dabei einen wichtigen Beitrag leisten, indem sie nachhaltigere Geschäftsprozesse in der Logistik ermöglichen. Bislang wurde die Green-IS-Forschung vorrangig durch konzeptionelle und empirische Studien dominiert, während dem gestaltungsorientierten Paradigma folgende konkrete Umsetzungen von Green-IS-Artefakten die Ausnahme darstellen. Um diese Lücke zu schließen, entwickeln und evaluieren die Autoren ein Green-IS-Artefakt zur Erfassung und Analyse von Treibhausgasemissionen im Straßengütertransport – den „Carbon Tracker“. Die Entwicklung des Green-IS-Artefakts erfolgt anhand von Designprinzipien, die auf theoriegeleiteten Überlegungen sowie empirischer Evidenz basieren. Der Carbon Tracker ermöglicht es, detaillierte Informationen über die entstandenen Treibhausgasemissionen zu erfassen und bereitzustellen. Das System soll somit das Verständnis für Treibhausgasemissionen im Straßengütertransport verbessern und ermöglicht eine Entscheidungsunterstützung für das Umweltcontrolling. Die Evaluierung des entwickelten Prototyps zeigt, dass im Vergleich zu bisher verwendeten Best-Practice-Ansätzen genauere und detailliertere Informationen über die entstandenen Treibhausgasemissionen bereitgestellt werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag legt dar, wie Green IS nachhaltigere Geschäftsprozesse unterstützen können und ebnet den Weg für weitere designorientiere Green-IS-Forschung.
