Understanding the Planet pillar
The Planet pillar of responsible digital is dedicated to mitigating the environmental impact of the digital sector. It addresses major issues such as energy consumption, e-waste management and the reduction of carbon emissions. It also encourages the adoption of energy-efficient practices, supports a circular economy and promotes the design of environmentally-friendly digital solutions.
The main issues
Energy consumption of IT infrastructures
The main target is data centres. The aim is to adopt efficient energy management practices, including the use of low-energy technologies and renewable energy sources.
Electronic waste
The main target is the rapid obsolescence of equipment. The aim is to promote the reuse, recycling and repair of electronic devices to extend their useful life and minimise the production of electronic waste.
The circular economy
This approach aims to establish a continuous cycle of use, repair and recycling of digital products in order to design sustainable digital products and reduce the waste of resources.
Creating a digital environment with low environmental impact
Digital technologies can have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions, particularly by enabling teleworking, reduced travel and intelligent energy management. We also need to reduce our impact on the planet through sustainability objectives.
Understanding the two other pillars
-
PEOPLE
Reducing the social divide and improving living conditions through digital technology. This is about inclusion and accessibility.
-
PROSPERITY
Creating value through digital technology. Digital technology is a lever for development and an opportunity for everyone (jobs, security, etc.).
