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.
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.
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
Anticipating sustainable transformation of infrastructure.
To facilitate rapid integration of digital responsibility into the operational model, we recommend:
Our tools, including the Sustainable IT Platform, support agile and fast implementation by assessing, defining, and managing plans to reduce IT impact.
