Sustainable IT level 2 certification
The Sustainable IT certification is aimed at organisations who are striving to reduce their digital impact. Level 2, the highest level, is awarded by an independent committee, to ensure it is even more demanding and transparent. Its main objectives are to improve purchasing policies, extend the life of equipment and shift towards the responsible design of digital services.
The certification is the result of a partnership between the Institut du Numérique Responsable, France IT and Agence LUCIE, supported by ADEME.
Three years – Renewable
Key figures
The share of greenhouse gas emissions which are due to the internet (i.e. 50% more than emissions from global air transport).
The number of electronic devices in the world, according to ADEME (of which between 70% and 90% do not enter into official recycling streams).
The quantity of chemical products required to manufacture a computer, in addition to 240kg of fuel and 1.5 T of water.

Focus on the impact of digital technology
While the digital world appears to be virtual, its impact is very real: the widespread extraction and use of raw materials, social impact and use of energy … So many consequences which are not always immediately apparent. What do you think has the biggest environmental impact? The extraction of resources and their transformation into electronic components. Next up is pollution associated with the end-of-life for these products: digital technology now represents between 3% and 4% of all greenhouse gas emissions in the world and 2.5% of the national carbon footprint of France (ARCEP 2023 study).
