Create an international standard for sustainable IT.
The International Committee for Digital Sustainability Certification (ICDSC) develops, ensures, and refines a common framework for evaluating and advancing responsible digital initiatives within organizations.
Why does this project exist ?
The growth of digital technology is having a profound impact on organizations, the environment, and social dynamics.
Carbon footprint, resource use, social impacts, governance, artificial intelligence: the challenges are numerous and constantly evolving. In the face of these transformations, organizations need a clear, structured, and recognized framework to act with rigor.
Environmental Challenges
IT has a significant impact on energy, carbon emissions, water, biodiversity, raw materials, and more. Structured action is urgently needed.
Social Impact
Human rights, accessibility, and digital inclusion are fundamental rights that must be guaranteed.
Strategic Necessity
Digital moderation is becoming a driver of resilience and competitiveness for organizations.
Driven by committed and recognized stakeholders
Institutions, research centers, dedicated associations, and experts in responsible digital technology: the ICDSC is built on a collective effort.
Members’ contributions strengthen the standard’s legitimacy. In turn, their participation affirms their role as key players in the ecosystem.
