Abstract

Using action research methodology, this research applies sustainability design principles in developing digital sustainability designs for a public procurement agency. The practical results indicate a design for continuous process of sustainability goal setting activities, “greening” rather than “green.” This process results in an organization that is continuously resetting its green objectives; never fully satisfied by its green achievements, it is always seeking to adopt the next green goals on the horizon. These results are an extension of the use of continuous quality improvement in managing green and sustainable information systems. Nevertheless, a greening organizational process provides material evidence for satisfying EU sustainability criteria while placing the organization in a state of perpetual green leadership.
