WHICH PART OF THE DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM ARE YOU COMING FROM?

Why You Should Join:

Over the past few years, you, as financial institutions and investors, have strategically focused on the long-term sustainability of your portfolios. And so have your clients.

This shift has been driven by an increased understanding of how environment and climate changes can affect economic growth, asset values, and financial markets as a whole.

We want to help you build more resilient portfolios while investing in and supporting the digital services industry, a strategic industry at worldwide level. And to make sure that this strategic industry at worldwide level fully matches your high-level requirements in terms of sustainability.

Just like you, we believe that sustainability is the new standard for investing and we believe that it can go hand in hand with the promises of an eco-responsible digital services sector.

What we offer:

A unique opportunity to build, at an early stage, the new codes, standards and practices which the Digital Services Industry will endorse, together with other key stakeholders, in order to succeed in the double challenge of transforming our societies into both green and digital simultaneously (see our Mission Statement).

In particular, DigitalGoes.Green offers you a hub:

  • to contribute to the development of an eco-responsible Digital industry in full alignment with your overall Strategic goals
  • to enhance and demonstrate your leadership in this critical sector
  • to show your overall compliance with the green finance requirements and regulations at worldwide level, as well as anticipate  the  coming regulations in this field
  • to strengthen your competitive advantage in this sector
  • to value your own portfolio and assets in the digital sector
  • to engage key stakeholders as EU and national decision makers, businesses and civil society which will bring their own expertise and vision towards the same objectives

Why You Should Join:

For many years, you, as technology and digital services companies, have made huge commitments to reducing your carbon footprint at global level. Most of your efforts have focused on renewable energy so as to make your premises, data centers and, to some extent, shipment of products to your customers carbon neutral.

While those efforts have been impressive, they will not be enough as customers, societies, policymakers and investors will expect much more from corporations who are intrinsically associated with the digital transformation. 

What we offer:

A unique opportunity to decuple your efforts towards sustainability while operating where you, as digital industry, can make a difference that no one else can make: because you will implement solutions at the level of your core business, in particular the deployment and delivery of digital services (see our Mission Statement).

In particular DigitalGoes.Green offers you a hub:

  • to contribute to the development of an eco-responsible digital industry in line with the expectations from customers, societies and policymakers at global and local level
  • to show that you take responsibility towards the most urgent sustainability challenges of our societies
  • to increase your leadership in this critical sector
  • to influence the digital agenda of policymakers, governments and financial investors
  • to kick off critical work at a very early stage and therefore be ahead of the curve,
  • to strengthen your competitive advantage in this sector
  • to engage key stakeholders: global and national decision makers, businesses and civil society who will bring their own expertise and vision towards the same objectives

Why You Should Join:

We know first-hand that there is very valuable and continuous research received from experts in the technical community and Academia that can make a difference and offer solutions for a green digital transformation. We also know how hard it is to obtain the well-deserved recognition and visibility while creating synergy for R&D and innovation.

Research on sustainable digital services so far is rather dispersed and, in most cases, does not cover the whole digital services ecosystem. Usually, the analysis is either focused on a particular digital service, such as streaming or ads, or on providing methods and tools for only one segment, such as cloud or data centers, terminals and equipment. Through new and more accurate assessment methods, new tools for sustainable HCI and environmentally aware software design, there is plenty of inspiring work on green digital services. But, these mostly stay in academic circles and do not reach a wider audience who would benefit from the findings and recommendations of this valuable research.

What we offer:

A unique opportunity to play a key role in our independent working groups and actively contribute to the development of green labels for digital services! Your work will reach the right audience, as well as fellow researchers focusing on other parts of the Internet ecosystem, which will bring the most efficient solutions to accurately assess and lower the carbon footprint of digital services (see our Mission Statement).

In particular, DigitalGoes.Green offers you a hub:

  • to access to a high-level global network from the tech industry, financial sector, policymakers, civil society and fellow researchers
  • to contribute to the development of global standards and best practices for sustainable digital services
  • to collaborate with new research teams for holistic and innovative solutions for the whole digital services ecosystem.
  • to leverage your research and development resources.
  • to gain visibility and recognition for your research
  • to influence a complementary approach for digital and green transformation
  • to see the findings and recommendations in your research adopted by the industry, investors and policymakers

Why you should join:

Several NGOs from green and technical communities have been working to lower the environmental impact of digital services. As DigitalGoes.Green we know perfectly well that solutions developed in isolation cannot have the desired impact in the digital services ecosystem, and how hard it is to bring stakeholders together, particularly those who do not usually meet and talk .

DigitalGoes.Green brings together all stakeholders in the digital services ecosystem to take decisive steps towards a more sustainable digital future. Your organisation will have the opportunity to meet, collaborate and influence other stakeholders to undertake their share in decreasing the carbon footprint of digital services. A lot of civil society initiatives for greening the digital services industry is focusing on digital sobriety of the end user, which certainly contributes to the solution. Yet, this can and should be complemented with actions to be taken by other organisations who finance, design and offer these services as well. And this fair distribution of burden between stakeholders for greener digital services is exactly the difference we would like to make at DigitalGoes.Green, of course together with your organisation. 

What we offer:

A unique opportunity to be a part of a results-driven initiative to build momentum and create concrete solutions for the digital and green transformation of societies. Greater civil society involvement in developing the principles, standards and best practices for the financing, development, offering and deployment of digital services will lead to increased public acceptance and ownership for a sustainable digital future (see our Mission Statement).

In particular, DigitalGoes.Green offers you a hub:

  • to gain access to a global network from the tech industry, financial sector, policymakers, researchers and other NGOs
  • to boost advocacy work by raising the profile your organisation through global reach and visibility
  • to promote transparency and accountability in the digital services ecosystem
  • to increase the impact of your education and awareness raising activities
  • to build capacity in technical skills and new technologies for sustainable digital services
  • to enable innovations accessible to the end user
  • to catalyse behaviour and policy change for lowering the carbon footprint of the digital services ecosystem
