| Abstract |
More and more organizations are heading to maximize the efficiency of their resources and enhancing their energy and waste management policies and practices. The extant literature argues that enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, or what is known as sustainable ERP systems, can aid organization in their "greening" efforts. This paper builds upon the existing body of knowledge on sustainable ERP and supply chain greening domains and presents a qualitative case study conducted at an organization that is active within the agriculture sector. The case organization was assessed on its expectancy towards implementing a new ERP system and the paper explores how this system can potentially support the company's initiatives within sustainability and innovation. This research shows that (sustainable) ERP systems are expected to improve time -management and efficiency and are not necessarily viewed as a solution that can aid organizations to become more sustainable.
