CIO Platform Nederland’s Post

According to the State of the Digital Decade 2023 Report, it currently accounts for around 7-9% of global electricity consumption, a figure that is set to rise to 13% by 2030. What's more, it contributes between 2% and 4% of total greenhouse gas emissions and generates increasing quantities of electronic waste. Against this backdrop, access to accurate, easy-to-understand information on the environmental impact and energy consumption of digital products and services is crucial. As a result, defining a multi-criteria measurement standard for the digital environmental footprint of organisations is a crucial step towards responsible resource management and a transition to a sustainable digital economy. This standard should encompass key factors such as carbon emissions, water use and resource consumption, providing a comprehensive view of the environmental impact of digital activities. This is what Cigref, Beltug, CIO Platform Nederland and VOICE - Bundesverband der IT-Anwender e.V. are proposing in their joint Manifesto for future European Parliamentarians. Consequently, we call on the European Union to create such a standard to encourage organisations to adopt more sustainable and transparent practices, thereby 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆-𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆.
