Reducing the environmental impact of IT systems to improve the operating model

The digital sector accounts for more than 5% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, and is set to increase by more than 45% between now and 2030 (source: Ademe). Therefore, digital  technology’s environmental footprint must be taken into account in every project.


The key role of the IT department in reducing environmental footprint

This scenario can be reversed thanks to digital sobriety and eco-design. IT Departments have a key role to play and are critical to implementing responsible business strategies. 
As leaders in transformation, CIOs make critical technological and operational decisions that impact the entire organisation. The sooner sustainable digital technology is placed at the heart of operating models, the sooner they will help deliver tangible results. We believe this can also enhance efficiency and add value, strengthening the IT department’s operations over the long term.

 

Placing digital responsibility at the centre of the IT department's operating model

We offer a comprehensive, results-oriented approach that can be rapidly implemented:

Establishing and integrating governance across the organisation.

Engaging employees in Sustainable Digital Transformation

Optimising equipment lifecycle management, including partner ecosystems

Anticipating sustainable transformation of infrastructure.

Embedding Digital Sustainability in all stages of application development through an eco-design approach.

 

To facilitate rapid integration of digital responsibility into the operational model, we recommend:

  • A pragmatic co-construction approach that can be rapidly activated and piloted
  • An objective assessment of the impact
  • An action plan to initiate concrete transformations with visible benefits from the outs

Our tools, including the Sustainable IT Platform, support agile and fast implementation by assessing, defining, and managing plans to reduce IT impact.
