GREEN CHALLENGES
Bridging digital transformation and green shift
Climate change and Energy transition represent the two major global challenges of the moment
Addressing the impacts of the company's activity on the environment, means placing this activity in a long-term perspective, raising the question of the balance between economy and ecology.
Today's awareness places us in front of many responsibilities:
Preservation of natural environment, biodiversity, the capacity of ecosystems to regenerate, as well as the use of natural resources
Production practices and consumption patterns are questioned in order to meet sustainable development challenges and particularly resources’ availability constraints.
This situation requires reconsideration of business models and new practices: eco-design, circular economy.
Energy and green transition therefore induce businesses to evolve towards new sustainable economic models.
OUR EXPERTISES
To be able to anticipate these changes, it makes sense to take into account environmental issues in digital strategies. The challenges are many and whatever the level of maturity of your project, we can help you to meet them :

Reduce your energy costs
ITN (i.e. Telecom and IT) equipments and the sites that host it account for about 80% of a telecom operator's total energy consumption and carbon footprint non-technical buildings and vehicles account for only 20%.
Telecom’s operators have to face a strong increase in their energy OpEx which can be linked to energy price variations, to the increase in the number of customers, to the increase in uses.
According to our own experience, the most important sources of energy savings are :
- Technical infrastructure: New technologies help to reduce energy dependency
- Fix and Mobile Networks: There are thousands of places, usually in inaccessible areas, that require a regular energy flow.
- Data Centers: Huge locations with many critical equipments, which require a lot of energy to operate, to cool down, to ensure their security

Design and launch a circular economy approach
The current linear development model "Extract, Manufacture, Discard" based on the consumption of cheap and accessible materials and energy, has reached its limits.
The circular economy enables to :
- Understand the CSR environmental pillar in a positive logic of synergies, and not only in an impact approach.
- Make companies work together and with other actors
- Promote business models with strong local roots and non-relocatable jobs;
- Challenge economic models (e.g.: to move from selling goods to selling services)
- Meet the CSR regulatory requirements
