THE FRENCH DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM COMMITS TO REDUCING ITS ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT

Digital solutions are being deployed exponentially throughout the world, and with them their environmental impact. Digital technology consumes more and more energy and is also a major user of resources for the manufacture of equipment and a generator of waste.

Reducing its environmental impact is urgent to ensure that the digital transition goes hand in hand with the ecological transition. While solutions exist, strong and collective actions are needed to implement them so that digital technology can also serve the environment.

The signatories of the Planet Tech'Care manifesto recognise that environmental changes have negative effects on human societies, ecosystems, and the global economy. They believe that its consequences generate risks but also opportunities for the entire digital industry.

Aware of their responsibilities, the signatories of the Planet Tech'Care manifesto wish to mobilise to contribute, at their own level, to controlling environmental risks and in particular climate change.

The signatories of the Planet Tech'Care manifesto undertake to measure and reduce the environmental impact of their digital products and services. They undertake to raise the awareness of their stakeholders so that all players in the digital ecosystem are able to contribute to reducing their impacts within their areas of responsibility.

At the same time, educational institutions and digital players offering training to their employees commit to integrating sustainable and ecologically efficient digital training into their course curriculum so that the new generation of professionals in the sector will be able to develop low-carbon and sustainable digital technology products and services.

As part of this approach, signatories will benefit from a free support programme consisting of several events (notably conferences and webinars) designed by the initiative's partners, who are digital and environmental experts.
