現今在國際社會正視全球暖化和氣候變遷下，減碳議題成為全球矚目的焦點，企業在進行商業活動時，過程中常伴隨著影響氣候變遷的碳排放。近年來世界各國對綠色環保意識之觀念提升，甚至制定了環保法規來加以管制，使得企業不得不於生產過程中，思考降低對環境污染的方法。各國企業為此進行組織或產品碳盤查，以標準的換算氣體─二氧化碳(CO2)計算碳排放量，使檢視自身對環境的貢獻，追求永續發展。
企業資源規劃(Enterprise Resource Planning, ERP)，是指建立在資訊技術基礎上，以系統化的管理思想，為企業決策層及員工提供決策運行手段的管理平台。企業資源計劃也是實施企業流程再造的重要工具之一，是個屬於大型製造業所使用的公司資源管理系統。世界500強企業中有80％的企業都在用ERP軟體作為其決策的工具和管理日常工作流程，其重要性可見一斑。
迄今為止的研究中，綠色資訊系統(Green IS)一直環繞在概念和實證研究之間，而社會一直不願意使用設計科學的研究方法來發展資訊系統。為了解決此一差距，本研究將運用設計科學研究(Design Science Research, DSR)理論來發展一套具有綠色環保概念之系統，使其在生產流程中，能精準地控管過程中產生的碳排放。

Under the condition of global warming and climate change nowadays, carbon reduction issues have become the focus of world attention. During companies’ business activities, they often produce carbon emissions which impact climate changing a lot. In recent years, countries around the world enhance the concept of environmental awareness, and even develop environmental regulation to be regulated so that enterprises must have to think how to reduce pollutions during the business processes. Therefore, national organizations conduct carbon inventory. They using carbon dioxide (CO2) to calculate carbon emissions, so that to view their contribution to the environment to pursue sustainable.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), refers to the establishment in the information technology, based on a systematic management thinking, for business decision-makers and staff to run the means to provide decision management platform. Enterprise Resource Planning is an important tool for the implementation of business process reengineering, is a part of a large manufacturing company used resource management systems. In fortune 500 companies, 80% of companies are using ERP software as a tool for their daily workflow and management decision-making, and its importance is evident.
Research to date, the green information system (Green IS) has been surrounded by between concepts and empirical research, and the community has been reluctant to use design science research methods to the development of information systems. To address this gap, this study will use design science research (DSR) theory to develop a green conceptual system, so that it can accurately control the carbon emissions generated in the process.
