Green Business Process Management (BPM) focusses on the ecological impact of business processes. Although it is an emerging field, different attitudes exist towards the discipline’s name, the objectives and the approaches to realise them. By means of a systematic literature review, the purpose of this paper is to arrive at a common understanding of the discipline for successful development.,The review methodology relies on a hermeneutic framework which integrates the search, analysis and interpretation of the literature. The sample is used in a text analysis to find an appropriate definition (RQ1), a bibliometric analysis to give insights in current Green BPM contributions (RQ2) and a content analysis to present differences with conventional BPM (RQ3).,Green BPM follows a similar development as conventional BPM, namely from a more technical perspective to also including the managerial perspective. More research is required that goes beyond the traditional business process lifecycle.,The research questions generated a comprehensive overview about application domains and research topics, which in turn can deliver benefits for both research and practitioner-related communities. Researchers identify future research avenues, while practitioners find appropriate Green BPM techniques for their domain.

对绿色业务流程管理的系统回顾

绿色业务流程管理（BPM）专注于业务流程的生态影响。尽管这是一个新兴领域，但是对于该学科的名称，目标和实现它们的方法存在不同的态度。通过系统的文献综述，本文的目的是对成功发展的学科达成共识。综述方法学依赖于诠释学框架，该框架整合了文献的搜索，分析和解释。该样本用于文本分析中以找到合适的定义（RQ1），文献计量分析以提供有关当前Green BPM贡献（RQ2）的见解，以及内容分析以呈现与常规BPM（RQ3）的差异。GreenBPM遵循与传统的BPM类似的发展，即从更技术的角度来看，也包括管理的角度。需要超越传统业务流程生命周期的更多研究。这些研究问题产生了有关应用领域和研究主题的全面概述，从而可以为研究和从业者相关社区带来好处。研究人员确定了未来的研究途径，而从业人员则为其领域找到了合适的绿色BPM技术。
