Sustainable IT level 1 certification
The sustainable IT certification is for organisations who are commitment to responsible, sober, ethical and inclusive digital technology. It is split into two levels. With level 1, the most accessible level, take your first confident steps towards reducing your digital impact.
The certification is the result of a partnership between the Institut du Numérique Responsable, France IT and Agence LUCIE, supported by ADEME.
