Talsom helps you embed sustainability at the core of your digital transformation, combining sharp expertise with an awareness of the ecological impact of your technological choices, guiding you towards achieving your eco-friendly objectives.
The environmental impact of the digital sector, often unknown and minimized, increases every year and significantly contributes to environmental and social issues, such as greenhouse gas emissions and various forms of pollution. By acting on these levers, your company can have a significant impact on its own emissions and those of others.
Where is your organization on the maturity scale?
Limited or no awareness of impacts, knowledge, or risk assessment. Few or no actions in place.
Some projects envisaged or started, but they are sporadic and not linked to the company’s strategy. Some standards and/or guidelines may be documented, but partially and without a high level of commitment.
Policies and programs are established throughout the company, but not necessarily measured. Good practices are implemented, supported by recognized principles. One or more roles are officially in charge of advancing projects with a follow-up plan.
Considerations for digital responsibility are firmly embedded in the organization, included in the company’s strategy, supported by a methodology, success measures, and a control plan. Documentation and training are abundant and structured, and a continuous improvement plan is in place to evolve the practice.
The practice is at a very high level of maturity and becomes a differentiator in the industry and is recognized as a significant strategic asset. It is at the center of the company’s values, influencing other practices in the development of a sustainable practice over time.
Digital sustainability refers to a set of practices aimed at reducing the environmental footprint, enhancing the social impact, and promoting ethical use of digital technologies. This includes the eco-design of digital services, responsible usage practices (e.g., storage, email, browsing), sustainable equipment lifecycle management, and building awareness within teams to foster more responsible habits.
At Talsom, we help organizations embed sustainability principles into their digital transformation, ensuring a thoughtful balance between innovation, performance, and social responsibility.
Digital activities are responsible for approximately 4% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and this number continues to rise. From manufacturing and everyday use to end-of-life disposal, digital devices consume significant natural and energy resources. The rapid growth of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) further increases this footprint, training and running AI models rely on highly energy-intensive data centres.
Reducing your digital footprint is not only essential for meeting climate targets, but also helps you adopt more efficient, ethical, and sustainable business practices.
You’re ready if:
Conducting a digital footprint assessment is often the first step toward identifying priorities and building a realistic, actionable roadmap.
Here are the key steps to get started:
A digital impact assessment helps evaluate your organization’s footprint related to equipment, usage patterns (e.g., cloud services, email, web browsing), and internal practices. This diagnosis includes a five-level maturity assessment, tangible environmental indicators, and tailored recommendations for improvement.
This kind of initiative fits seamlessly within a broader ESG strategy.
Digital sustainability is an accelerator (not a barrier) to digital transformation. It enables organizations to combine technological innovation with environmental responsibility, in line with growing expectations from clients, talent, and investors.
This approach promotes energy-efficient IT infrastructure, longer-lasting equipment, and long-term value creation.
