Environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments, which were discussed during the Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo in EMEA last week, have become mainstream standards for all socially conscious companies. They are also used by many investors to measure the ethical impact and sustainability of potential investments. A recent addition to this package of values is digital sustainability, but what is it and how does it apply to a company’s overall ESG goals?

Digital sustainability harnesses the tools of digital transformation, such as enhanced connectivity and the Internet of Things (IoT), to improve the environment and support sustainable business operations. But with the internet accounting for around 3.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions it can be a tricky circle to square. Fortunately, there are already some well-established, real-world examples of how it can work.
