Abstract: Abstract Organizational strategies for saving energy are currently largely defined by three main courses of action: From a process organization perspective, efforts are being made to optimize processes and invest into more energy efficient infrastructure; from a behavioral perspective, one-time interventions such as energy campaigns or feedback mechanisms are common means to reduce environmental impact. However, both approaches face limitations concerning the scope of intervention. Researching organizational needs in the wild, we conducted action-based research regarding energy optimization practices. We discovered a lack of integrated approaches as regards fostering sustainability in organizations and deriving strategies for bridging the gap between strategic planning and everyday work in order to manage sustainability strategies more effectively and efficiently. We conclude by laying out a research agenda, which we seek to address in course of the ongoing research project in order to gain more sophisticated understanding of how to conduct collaborative green business process management in the wild.
