Digital transformation and sustainability

At a time when sustainability, the climate and corporate social responsibility are permeating businesses across the board, digitalization brings clarity to complexity, and makes it possible to drive the sustainability agenda forwards.

Digital transformation and sustainability are closely linked. Regardless of whether your primary focus is to reduce climate impact, contribute to community or ensure more diversity, there’s no doubt that sustainability has become a deeply integrated part of business life, along with digitalization.

Top management all over the world have learned that it rarely makes sense to have a separate strategy for digitalization, because it’s often a fundamental criterion for the business. Similarly, sustainability is a complex and omnipresent factor that affects and influences every part of the business.

Digitalization simplifies complexity

Digital solutions simplify challenges and provide the tools to turn your business in a more sustainable direction. In line with increased focus on sustainability, new standards and tools have been developed, such as the UN’s SDGs, Science Based Targets and circular economy, which simplify complexity and provide a framework for action. Such systems require enormous amounts of data from the entire value chain, which would be impossible to obtain, analyze and distribute without digitalization.

At a more exploitable level, digitalization also contributes measures that are able to enhance sustainability. For example: new virtual forms of collaboration that will make long journeys by air superfluous. Lifecycle analysis and more traceability throughout the supply chain to prove eco-friendly production methods. Or artificial intelligence to warn of inappropriate bias for HR management.
