#5 Proposals for Sustainable IT

5 Key PROPOSALS…

to LEARN from a VARIETY of PLAYERS!

#EVANGELISTS

Through public or private research institutes, free tools are also made available to raise awareness and provide initial elements for assessing the carbon footprint of digital technology (EcoInfo CNRS, ADEME, INR).

#CSR TELLERS

These players have developed an approach to advise businesses on their sustainable transition.

Specializing in CSR, climate or energy strategy, they have a thorough understanding of the global issues involved.

They have only recently begun to look into digital issues (Greenflex, Carbone4, Quantis, …).

# IT TELLERS

Generalists or IT consultancies, for their part, have begun to position themselves in the field of digital responsibility, in a rather opportunistic way, as a complement to corporate digital transformation projects, with limited tooling (excel spreadsheets) and skills on the sustainable transition of digital technology.

#CSR MAKERS

Here too, as in the case of consultancy, there is a dichotomy in the players adopting a technological approach by developing software: start-ups and editors covering CSR in areas other than digital (Ecovadis, Tennaxia, KShuttle, …).

#IT MAKERS

And sustainable IT start-ups and editors, addressing (part of) the digital perimeter, segmented by domain with no real cross-disciplinary or holistic view of the subject.

From pioneers to new comers: GreenSpector (mobile applications), EasyVirt (virtualisation), Aguaro (assets), Fruggr (web applications), Sopht …
