Abstract
The impact of human activities has become one of the greatest concerns of our society, leading to global efforts to achieve sustainable development. Business organizations play an important role on this endeavor. Business Process Management (BPM) offers a comprehensive approach for designing, implementing, executing and monitoring business processes. This position paper aims to raise the discussion about how BPM can be extended to consider the direct and indirect effects of the business processes in the environmental, economic and social dimensions of sustainability.
