The PM4S workshop aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to explore the intersection of process mining and sustainability as well as raise awareness for the potential of process mining for supporting sustainable development. We want to offer a platform to present work contributing to the topic and foster discussion and collaboration on innovative approaches to enhance the environmental and social performance of business processes.

With increasing environmental and societal challenges, the urgency for sustainable development becomes paramount. Industries, responsible for a significant portion of global emissions and waste, play a crucial role in this transition. The “Process Mining for Sustainability” workshop aims to bridge the gap between technological advancement and sustainable practices, focusing on the transformative potential of process mining in fostering sustainable business processes.
The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) demand a reevaluation of industrial processes and organizational practices. Business processes are pivotal in this context. There is a pressing need for concrete, scalable solutions to embed sustainability into the fabric of BPM. To fully harness the power of process mining for sustainability, it is imperative to advance existing techniques and methodologies. PM4S encourages submissions that propose process mining frameworks integrating sustainability-related knowledge, enhance process mining techniques to support production and logistics processes, or describe the application of process mining to increase sustainability. For instance, object-centric process mining allows for a more nuanced understanding of complex inter-organizational systems, providing a ground for methodologies that can significantly advance sustainability.
The objective of this workshop is to showcase the latest research and practical applications of process mining in the pursuit of sustainability, foster dialogue between academia and industry, and to develop a joint action plan to guide future efforts in this critical domain.
Topics, include anything supporting environmental or social sustainability using Process Mining or works contributing to process mining being capable of doing so. They include but are not limited to:
Traditional workshop presentations, and a guided interactive session for brainstorming ideas on how to advance process mining techniques for enhancing environmental, economic, and social sustainability resulting in an overview of topics to be addressed as a community.

RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Nina Graves, M.Sc., is a PhD candidate at the Chair of Process and Data Science at RWTH Aachen University. Using her background in industrial engineering, her research focusses on advancing process mining techniques to increase the sustainability of production and logistics processes.
Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden
Birgit Penzenstadler is an Associate Professor at the joint Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenburg University, Sweden, as well as an Adjunct Professor at the Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland. She has been investigating sustainability, resilience, and well-being from a point of view of software engineering during the past ten years, working on a body of knowledge and concepts of how to support sustainability from within RE. Part of these efforts are documented with the Karlskrona Alliance that published a body of work including the Karlskrona Manifesto (see also http://www.sustainabilitydesign.org).
