Digital Sobriety: An Environmental Challenge
The proliferation of devices (smartphones, PCs, servers, data centers, 4G/5G networks, fiber optics…) and the rise of data-intensive uses (streaming, video, AI) are increasing the environmental footprint of digital technology: mining extraction, water and energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions.
Between 2014 and 2019, the digital sector doubled its greenhouse gas emissions, reaching 3.4% globally. By 2025, projections estimate these emissions will rise to 7%.
Not only must digital technology within companies contribute to reducing environmental impact, but it must also find room for maneuver through optimization and sobriety to enable the adoption of new technologies (Data, AI).
Expectations Around Responsible Digital Practices
According to our discussions with digital professionals, expectations around Responsible Digital Practices converge around four key priorities:
-
Reducing the environmental footprint within a secure framework: This is the main concern for organizations that want to act within a robust, secure, and trustworthy environment.
-
Complying with increasingly demanding regulations: CSRD, REEN, and other regulations are targeting digital activities. Compliance is a critical issue.
-
Optimizing costs and generating ROI: Sobriety, resource pooling, and precise infrastructure management help reduce both costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Enhancing differentiation and employer attractiveness: Embracing a Responsible and committed approach allows companies to stand out to clients, partners, and in recruitment, while meeting stakeholder expectations.
1. Securing Your IT
For DEEP, the first responsibility is security, trust, and system robustness. Our ambition is to make digital technology resilient within organizations—building and strengthening a secure, trustworthy, and ethical foundation.
These foundations—cybersecurity, sovereignty, ethical and responsible AI, and data protection—form the base from which we work on optimization.
2. Optimizing Your IT
DEEP supports you in integrating environmental considerations into your thinking and decision-making criteria. Extending the lifespan of your equipment, promoting circularity, optimizing infrastructures, and measuring the impact of delivered services are the key areas we address with you.
3. Amplifying Positive Impacts
While digital technology is part of the environmental problem, it is also part of the solution. Beyond IT services, DEEP addresses business operations and activities with the goal of helping companies reduce their overall environmental impact.
