About this event

Did you know that digital is already contributing 4% to the global greenhouse gas emissions 🏭? This is more than worldwide aviation ✈️

Have you ever experienced the sensation of feeling your smartphone vibrate when in reality you didn't receive any notification? It's FOMO syndrome and it's a sign of digital addiction 😱

We live and work in a digitized and digitalization world. Digital certainly facilitates our daily life and sometimes our mobility, but used incorrectly, it harms our health and the environment. What is the hidden face of digital? 🤫

At the same time, organizations are digitizing at a very high speed (Cloud, Home office, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, etc.). Digitization saves time and money and promotes comfort. But what about the environmental impact of digital in companies? Does digitalization accelerate or hinder the achievement of the much-heralded carbon neutrality? Then, how to measure the digital footprint of their activities?

If you've read this far, it's because this topic interests you. Through this talk, you will simply understand the environmental footprint of digital and how to reduce your digital footprint.

Included in the program:

  • Green IT interactive quiz 🏆
  • Introduction to the notion of Sustainable IT ♻️
  • Life cycle of IT equipment ✅
  • An omnipresent environmental footprint 👣
  • Free tools to measure/reduce your footprint 😎
