We live in a world where we're told to do more with less. To build for long-term success, while also winning in the short term. To keep driving digital transformation forward, but also to transition to more sustainable business practices.
These priorities might seem to be competing, but in fact, they can work in perfect harmony. With customers, investors and governments increasingly choosing to deal with responsible organisations, suddenly good business is also good for the planet. 73% of organizations have seen higher rates of revenue growth since adopting sustainable product design initiatives. 75% saw increased ability to attract capital.

We want to create a world where sustainability is a part of every business decision. On this page, we’ll share how we do that for our customers and for our own business, to demonstrate how we can make a difference for you too – wherever you are on your sustainability journey.
Sustainability report: A World in Balance
Hearts and minds are changing on sustainability, but action is still falling short.
Human activity is causing enormous, destabilising impact on our climate and ecosystems. But what can companies do about it? Our 2023 ‘A World in Balance’ report surveyed over 2,000 executives from enterprise organisations, to build a picture of the sustainability trends across a broad range of industries. From there, the report provides practical steps for senior leaders to begin developing a sustainability strategy, or to accelerate their current activity. Read the report here.
Together towards net zero
This commitment with our partner Capgemini is the first concrete example of the way we want to move forward.
Both sustainable and digital transformation are urgent priorities for businesses – so it’s essential to start making purposeful, practical, measurable moves that combine both aims. Capgemini is working with ENECO – a leader in renewable energy – to accelerate their journey to Net Zero, while also using data, digital engineering and AI to streamline their business. Together, we’re working to reduce their carbon emissions by one megatonne by 2030.
Our Energy Command Centre (ECC) has already helped us transition to 100% renewable energy in our operations using IoT, automation, data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to manage energy intelligently. That’s the first step; we’re aiming to eliminate 90% of our carbon footprint by 2040, and the ECC will be instrumental in our pledge to help Capgemini clients save 10 million tonnes of CO2 by 2030.
