"Digital" has an impact on the state of the environment. While not as visible as manufacturing or aviation, digital consumes vast amounts of energy. And along with this voracious demand for energy come GHG emissions. It is currently estimated that between 2-4 % of global carbon emissions can be attributed to the ICT sector.
As a premier software and digital services provider to some of the world's iconic mobility brands, we have a responsibility to adopt and promote sustainable practices. Digital experiences must be designed for:
- Energy Efficiency - consuming the least amount of electricity possible
- Hardware Efficiency - using the lowest possible amount of embodied carbon
- Carbon Awareness- doing more when the electricity is clean and less when it's dirty
Valtech is on an ambitious but absolutely necessary Net Zero journey. As part of that, we are making considerable effort and investment to ensure that our global consulting team is adequately prepared for this new normal. In addition to driving down our own operational emissions, we are:
- Training our people on the principles of green software
- Building active internal communities of practice
- Building offerings to help our clients audit the current footprint of their digital estates and to adopt green continuous improvement practices
Today, we commit to you that we will bring the principles of green software development to our clients and contacts in the mobility sector. We will make a special educational presentation available to those that want to explore the subject - and work together to craft action plans.
