Digital Responsability Ambitions 2030

In 2020, digital technology represents 4% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the world, more than air transport! And studies show that the impact of digital technology is growing exponentially: it is expected to double or even triple in the next 15 years.

Today, there are more than 34 billion pieces of IT equipment (computers, smartphones, screens) that had to be manufactured and that must be supplied with electricity.

That’s why having responsible digital consumption is a necessity today. This is defined by the Responsible Digital Institute (Institut du Numérique Responsable) as follows: "Responsible digital technology is a process of continuous improvement which aims to reduce the ecological, economic and social footprint of information and communication technologies".

A responsible digital strategy that uses less energy, is more inclusive, more equitable and more united

Groupe Rocher is therefore committed to implementing a responsible digital strategy that uses less energy, is more inclusive, more equitable and more united.

This “IT Responsibility” approach is based on 4 pillars:

1. Reduce the carbon impact linked to the Group's IT activities ;
2. Develop a resilient, sustainable and accessible information system ;
3. Develop sobriety in digital usages ;
4. Support the Group in its green transformation.
