Verdikt at the forefront of promoting sustainable IT: recap of the Green Tech Forum

Verdikt is proud to be at the forefront of promoting sustainable IT practices. On December 1st and 2nd, we participated in the Green Tech forum for the second time the biggest annual meeting dedicated to reducing the environmental footprint of digital technology.🌿 🖥️

 

At the forum, our CEO, Christine, recently shared the stage with Saint-Gobain Distribution Bâtiment France’s Group Supply Chain & IT Director, Maxime Poirson, to discuss key lessons learned from a 2-month project dedicated to evaluating the environmental impact of their IT department.

We also had the opportunity to engage in many thought-provoking discussions, make valuable connections, and learn about the initiatives and projects of prospective clients eager to launch and accelerate their transition to sustainable practices.🌱

 

Thanks to the Planet tech care team for putting on such a great environmental digital tech event! 👏

#PRODUCT

Enhancing our solutions: Improved dashboards and user experience

Following our client’s feedback, we have enhanced our dashboards to highlight improvement levers directly on charts, using color coding and badges. In addition, user experience has also been improved to navigate faster across our solution and gain space to deep dive and zoom by collapsing our menu!

 

Finally, we have created a dedicated dashboard on website impact, providing insights on quantitative figures such as GHG emissions or water consumption and qualitative ones on eco-design, hosting, and accessibility maturities.

#CIO #CSRO

Digitally Responsible?

📃 Don’t let the regulations catch up with you…and if no dry run has been performed so far it’s more than time to add IT sustainability to your 2023 IT agenda! 

 

As we progress into 2023, it is becoming increasingly necessary for organizations to comply with ongoing regulations regarding the measurement of not only scope 1 and 2 emissions, but also scope 3 emissions. Utilizing Excel sheets alone will no longer be sufficient for tracking, reducing, and comparing data over time. Therefore, it is imperative that a more sustainable solution is implemented.

 

🌱Verdikt is committed to assisting organizations in this transition by providing professional expertise and a platform specifically designed to measure the impact of IT on the planet, people, and profit, in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and CSR regulations. 

 

As CIO and CSRO who share the subject (digital for one and sustainability for the other), it is imperative that you consider working together to include a digital component in your company’s non-financial report in 2023. Verdikt is there to help you make this transition smoothly, with the goal of compliance with ongoing regulations and achieving sustainability.

#Key Figure

Renewable Energy

19.3%

The French government has set a target to reach 33% renewable energy by 2030 ! The French Ministry of Energy Transition reports that in 2022, 19.3% of France's gross final energy consumption will come from renewable sources. This growth is attributed to the increased production of biofuels, heat pumps, and wind power which has grown by 85% since 2005.

#CUSTOMERS

IT sustainability is becoming a reality!

Our esteemed clients have shown a renewed interest in utilizing our services, not only to evaluate the impact of their information technology endeavours within France but also to measure their technology’s impact in other countries as well.🌍 For example last month, we started to evaluate one of our client’s IT impact in new countries, which will allow them to make meaningful comparisons between countries and take tangible steps toward reducing digital pollution. 

 

As the effects of climate change become more pronounced in 2023, the importance of sustainable IT practices is becoming increasingly clear. We are thrilled to see more and more companies recognizing the importance of sustainable IT and actively seeking solutions. 

 

The expertise of Verdikt is highly sought after by not only French CAC 40 companies, but also by a diverse array of European companies based in countries such as Switzerland, Sweden, and the Netherlands. This is a clear indication of Verdikt’s unwavering commitment to aiding companies in achieving their IT sustainability objectives and making a meaningful contribution to the betterment of the world.

#Best Practice

Refurbished equipment
One of the best practices in terms of digital responsibility is to limit the purchase of new equipment by preferring the purchase of refurbished equipment. ♻️📱.  According to the Ademe report "Environmental Impact assessment of a reconditioned product set” of September 2022, buying a refurbished smartphone rather than a new one avoids 87 to 64% of annual impact. This is equivalent to preventing the extraction of 76.9 kg of raw materials and the emission of 24.6 kg of GHG per year of use.  For several years, the purchase of refurbished IT equipment has been increasing: according to the International Data Corporation (IDC) "The second-hand market grew by 11.5% in 2022".

#HR
