TECNIMONT’s Post

Some people may consider sustainable tech an oxymoron. However, this Earth Day, we want to bring to attention the innovative ways the tech sector is creating sustainable solutions and practices to better our future.

The tech industry, a powerhouse of innovation, faces mounting pressure to align itself global environmental goals. While tech advancements have revolutionised daily life, the sector's impact on sustainability is a growing concern. Challenges, including energy and water consumption and alarming e-waste levels, underscore the urgent need for eco-friendly tech solutions.

Sustainability studies are no longer an option, but a necessity in our world. Our common responsibility is to "do sustainable business.’’ As Modutech, we take steps that think about the future and use our energy in the most appropriate way. The future is ours.🌿   #SaveTheWorld #Energy #EnergySavingWeek #EnergySaving #GreenerEnvironment #SustainableFuture #Sustainability #Future #Modutech

"In an era where going green is not just a trend, but a necessity, it's worth exploring how sustainability can also be profitable." This video will delve into the advantages of incorporating energy efficiency measures into your business model. Many benefits exist, from reduced operating costs to an enhanced reputation among increasingly environmentally-conscious tenants. We'll also provide some compelling statistics to underline the significance of this shift towards sustainable practices. #GreenerBuildingAssociation #GBACanada #Sustainability

What a great start at the GreenTech Forum Brussels ! At the first conference, speakers Louise Aubet, Cyprien de Barros and Louis Golard reviewed the state of the art in terms of the missing global guidelines and frameworks on how to measure the environmental impact of digital technology. While most impact studies focus on greenhouse gas emissions and electricity consumption, what about studies that include together at least energies, resources and water consumptions, gas emissions, end-of-life treatment, etc.? It's complicated, and the figures are unfortunately lacking and/or well hidden... I gladly join them in their quest for a global framework for how to assess the digital lifecycle as a whole. And then I thank Simon Uyttendaele, Dr Benita Hube and Vincent Ducas for their « pep talk » : they shared with us their enthusiasm for changing operating habits, what's been done and what still needs to be done in and beyond Europe (#DownUnder), because there's always room for improvement in the digital sector ! Fortunately, handbooks/guidelines such as the Handbook of Sustainable design of digital services (#GR491, English translation available) from the Institut du Numérique Responsable, the Guide d'écoconception des Designers Éthiques or the #RGESN from GreenIT.fr, etc. (non-exhaustive list of course !) exist to help us review the way we operate and to question ourselves on how to tackle the different issues towards a sustainable IT. And if your partners still seem unconvinced of the importance of changing the course, we can remind them that there are European and governmental obligations to follow, that digital sobriety is also a way of simplifying things, of being more accessible, and clearer, and therefore of being more focused on optimization and lowering costs, etc. Finally, if you're short of other ideas to convince them, and need more concrete examples of how to apply an eco-design approach... Well, that's just the thing, because with Sophie Schuermans (AnySurfer), Pascal DESHAYES (TerraOps), and myself (Spade), we can give you a few examples. Would you like to join us? When : Wednesday 19 June From 9:30am to 10:30am (conference room 2): Eco-design & website: Tools, standards, best practices (including accessibility, data privacy, etc.), actors and testimonials. The conference will be moderated by Rémy Marrone, Journalist in Sustainable IT. (And while Sophie will be speaking, you could meet Ibrahim Tamditi or a colleague of him from AnySurfer at their exhibitor booth !) #GTFBrussels #SustainableIT #GreenIT #ITforGreen

In our hot-off-the-press article, Pasi Takkinen and I propose three archetypes of sustainability expertise: "The Technocrat", "The Humanist", and "A Spurner" (nurjailija). Read also about tips concerning how to balance between different kinds of expertise--and perhaps find yourself in the "grey zone". 🛠️🗜️📁🔗🕑🏳️

A very insightful read on the urgency of innovation in driving sustainable progress. It highlights the critical role that political will, public awareness, and rapid action play in tackling climate change and sustainability challenges - https://lnkd.in/dAZgfzN7
