- Triple bottom-line challenges are increasingly related to the long-term survival of companies. Both researchers and businesses understand that the transformation towards a sustainable future is dependent on green IS initiatives. However, companies base their decisions on business cases when investing in IS. Many of the required changes that green IS can offer—especially when it comes to new systems that require new business models—are not captured by business cases. This paper presents a model that widens the perspective on value creation. The presented Sustainable Stewardship Management Model (SSMM) allows companies that strive for a stewardship role to evaluate both existing and new forms of green IS by combining casual and effectual decision-making. The model is a result of a collaboration with several large Swedish commercial real estate companies, their tenants, and a non-governmental organization (NGO). The model will be tested in a follow-up project.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The 2030 Agenda has pushed practitioners as well as academia to renew their efforts on promotingsustainability, e.g. in how digital technologies can support cities to improve their environmentalperformance. However, as scholars focus their attention on the positive outcomes of implementation,they often neglect the environmental impact of the artefact itself. We present a study of a Green ISimplementation – a municipal Internet of Things (IoT) solution which was expected to decrease thecarbon emissions produced by urban waste collection in Sweden. Using a mixed methods approach,we present qualitative findings from interviews & project meetings as well as quantitative findingsfrom a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). We find that (1) the environmental impact of the connectedlitter-bins – however small – is not necessarily offset by any significant benefits, and (2) the mostsignificant way for the stakeholders to reduce environmental impact is to utilize more ecologicallyfriendly trash bags.

DeSET : Digital Energy Services and Ecosystem Transformation
- 2023
-
In: 29th Annual Americas Conference on Information Systems, AMCIS 2023. - : Association for Information Systems. - 9781713893592
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this emerging research paper, we introduce a project exploring the role of a commercial real estate property company called Mestro on enhancing the efforts of its clients to provide environmentally sustainable venues for their clients who also value environmentally sustainable business practices. Mestro provides real time energy usage and advanced reporting systems that enables commercial property owners to optimize tenant energy consumption. Through the lens of service dominant logic, we will perform a multiple case-based study to understand how Mestro, in collaboration with its commercial property clients and their tenants, creates an ecosystem where all parties co-create value for each other. In addition to the case studies, we will analyze actual energy consumption based on real data provided by the participating commercial property companies on tenant energy usage.
