As our resource consumption grows exponentially, it is time to reason and optimize our digital usage. Indeed, it is far from being intangible and represents a growing threat to our planet.
Harington Impact helps employ the various tools available to reduce the environmental footprint of IT as well as adopting soberer digital solutions.
We stand by your side to reconcile digital transformation and climate urgency.
The digital burden is getting heavier and heavier in the ranking of greenhouse gases. Yet, only 25% of emissions are currently being measured and managed. CIOs (Chief Information Officers) are confronted with new requirements in terms of responsibility and regulatory compliance. This of course has to be done while having to continue to innovate and, at the same time, controlling costs to contribute profitability of their company.
- Increased regulation pressure and a more and more organized control/ supervision: PACTE law CSR, REEN law, 2022 SFDR and taxonomy, CSRD, Declaration of Non-Financial Performance (DPEF) and ESG reporting (2025).
- Need for performance and CSR ROI management: €1 million invested = leverage x 2.6, including €1 million in gains (cost savings, productivity)
- Certifying sustainability commitment (NR label, SBTi net zero contributor): market trust, customer appeal, employer brand, image
