Our tool.

The Sustainability Compass (SC) was developed to assess the contribution made by ICT services to sustainability.

It is based on the classic dimensions of economy, society and ecology. The dimension of product benefits were also included in version 2.

The core element is a catalog of questions that describes a sustainable society in our view.

Take home message.

The assessment of the sustainability contribution made by products does not provide any solid results like, for example, an LCA.

Discussions with product managers in the Group, but also with stakeholders, can help identify important points for a sustainability contribution without necessarily leading to a final result.

Our activities should of course ultimately generate profit.
