Don’t have a digital product but still want to be digitally sustainable?
When you work with purpose in sustainability, conservation, regeneration and other related fields you want your business to be as sustainable as possible. You walk your talk, and embrace the needed change. If you are a BCorp, a not-for-profit or charity you understand the bigger picture and want to act responsibly. Let’s be fair, if you can reduce your costs as much as possible, it helps you to focus on your mission.
Digital emissions are on the rise, even more so with the popularity of AI. At this rate, they will be greater than the green house gases created by the whole of the USA before 2040. The costs of digital adoption are also on the rise. These two are intrinsically connected.
The Digital Sustainability Awareness and Action Series breaks down digital sustainability into easy to understand concepts that participants action during the workshops. Ensuring long lasting understanding, empowerment to continue making changes, and the knowledge and courage to do so.
