Information systems (IS) are foundational drivers of societal development and economic value creation. By reducing information asymmetries, enabling coordination across distributed actors, and supporting evidence-based decision-making, IS reshape markets, organizations, and infrastructures. At the same time, societies face the urgent challenge of sustainable transformation. Climate change, geopolitical instability, and resource constraints require fundamental changes in how energy is produced, products are designed, and value chains are organized. IS offer significant potential to support this transformation by increasing transparency, improving traceability, automating processes, and enabling new forms of collaboration across organizational and sectoral boundaries. A central pillar of sustainable transformation is the decarbonization of the energy system. The transition toward renewable electricity and low-carbon hydrogen, together with the electrification of heating, mobility, and industrial production, positions the energy system as the backbone of a climate-neutral economy. However, this transformation entails substantial complexity. The integration of distributed renewable generation, small-scale flexibility assets, storage systems, and responsive demand requires fine-grained coordination across heterogeneous market actors. Such coordination depends on reliable, interoperable, and verifiable data architectures capable of ensuring both system stability and market efficiency. Beyond the energy domain, decarbonized supply chains require robust mechanisms for documenting and verifying sustainability-related information in order to justify price premiums for low-carbon products or enable emission taxation. Digital Product Passports (DPPs) represent a promising instrument to enable transparency across product life cycles. Yet, the effectiveness of DPPs hinges on trustworthy data infrastructures that balance traceability and accountability with legitimate concerns for privacy, confidentiality, and data sovereignty. This dissertation contributes to IS-enabled sustainability transformation by designing digital infrastructures to enable verifiable data sharing for both energy flexibility integration and digital product transparency. It further argues that sustainability transformation requires more than the passive collection and reporting of data. Instead, data must be proactively orchestrated as a resource for forward-looking strategic decisions that go beyond compliance obligations. The dissertation conceptualizes how data can be structured, bundled, and leveraged to create and capture sustainable value. It examines mechanisms that enable trustworthy data sharing, reduce information asymmetries, and support coordinated action across interorganizational ecosystems. Across multiple studies, the dissertation demonstrates how digital infrastructures facilitate the integration of distributed flexibility into energy systems, how DPPs operationalize verifiability in decarbonized supply chains, and how process mining and data management capabilities contribute to sustainable organizational transformation. Taken together, the findings reveal that IS play a pivotal role in transforming fragmented data into actionable knowledge, balancing privacy and verification, and enabling data-driven sustainability transformation at scale.
