Is digital transformation an asset for sustainability?
Digital transformation has become an essential pillar for companies seeking to remain competitive and adapt to market changes. But beyond its benefits in terms of efficiency and profitability, it's important to ask whether this transformation can also contribute to a more ecological and sustainable approach to business and day-to-day corporate operations..
Why is digital transformation crucial for sustainability?
In Canada, companies are increasingly aware of the importance of taking environmental issues into account in their operations. According to a recent study by the Canadian chamber of commerce, 75% of Canadian companies consider sustainability to be a key element of their business strategy.
Digital transformation offers many opportunities to improve the sustainability of business and corporate operations. For example, the implementation of electronic document management solutions can reduce paper consumption and simplify administrative processes. Similarly, the use of online communication and collaboration platforms helps to limit travel, and therefore the CO2 emissions associated with business trips.
According to a study by Deloitte Canada, companies that have invested in digital technologies to optimize their operations have seen a 30% reduction in energy consumption costs and a 20% cut in greenhouse gas emissions.
Many companies today are looking to improve the business optimization of their activities, and this in an environment that is increasingly telecommuting. We've also covered this topic in this article.
Why go digital?
Digital transformation can be a real asset for the sustainability of business and corporate operations. By adopting a responsible approach and integrating green practices into their digital strategy, Canadian companies can not only improve their operational performance, but also contribute to protecting the environment and building a more sustainable economy.
