We want digitalisation to be green by design
Our mission is to bring the digital and environmental transitions into a single governance conversation, with the right evidence, the right tools and the parties who actually decide in the same room. We work across public authorities, industry, civil society, academia and the green and technical communities.
The question has changed character in the last two years. Digitalisation once raised concerns about efficiency, emissions and electronic waste. It now raises a question of allocation, because the infrastructure behind AI is claiming power, water and grid capacity at a scale that puts it in direct competition with everything else those systems support. Decisions about that competition are being made now, and the parties making them have no common basis for justifying them.
We work across the full lifecycle of digital services, from financing through to deployment and end of life, and towards common methodologies for assessing the environmental impact of both current and emerging services.
Together with our partners and experts, we have identified three key areas of work.
sustainable Organisations
We work with organizations from all sectors through a digital sustainability governance process, to ensure that their digital transformation is sustainable. We provide trainings and capacity building activities to incorporate digital into ESG and CSR objectives and regular monitoring and reporting of environmental impact.
ımpact through ınnovatıon
We promote and moderate a cross sectoral dialogue for innovative business models to put technologies and protocols at the heart of solutions with a green mindset. A sustainable supply chain is created via digital tools and data models limiting environmental impact, improving operations and reducing costs.
green by desıgn
We work with digital industry and the technical community to develop and adopt consensus-based solutions for an accurate assessment of the environmental impact of digital services through a common and coherent methodology. With a holistic and forward-looking approach, we make sure current and emerging digital services are green by design.
