Abstract
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) 12.6 aims to “encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle” [43]. Using Design Science Research, GReenstreets Integrated Packaging Sustainability reporting system (“GRIPS”) is an expository artefact built using the BAO design theory for green information systems (Green IS) (c.f. Recker) [34]. The artefact aims to support organizations in overcoming sustainability challenges by providing information to help them make effective decisions around packaging sustainability and to facilitate the move from eco-efficiency to eco-effectiveness practices. This study adds to practice by helping companies to act, measure and monitor the move towards eco-effective packaging. It adds to research by providing an expository artefact based on the design theory for Green IS proposed by Recker.
