Abstract

Political parameters and guiding principles for environmental protection, sustainability and energy efficiency demand for assistance from environmental management systems. Indeed, a high-capacity environmental management system has a need for multiple diverse and heterogeneous data in order to meet the requirements of planning, controlling and assessing versatile environmental tasks within an organization and beyond organizational boundaries. This data has to be provided by so called corporate environmental management information systems (CEMIS) for a goal oriented processing. But, looking into business practice shows that currently implemented CEMIS do not cope with the requirements from the sustainability debate. Current software is mostly used to manage the damage done, hence an energy efficient behaviour can not come to daily business. Knowledge about the energy footprint of a product throughout its life-cycle is currently not properly made accessible to business people, stakeholders or customers. For this reason, we plan a new CEMIS that is able to take into account e.g. ICT for designing, building or selling, product related transport and production processes, as well as web store energy costs for the whole product life.
