Sopra Steria Earns Level 2 Responsible Digital Label

Sopra Steria, a prominent player in the European technology scene, has recently been honored with the Level 2 Responsible Digital Label by the Institute for Responsible Digital. This accolade represents the highest standard awarded in this field, reflecting the company's dedication to integrating sustainability and ethics into its operations.

Commitment to Responsible Digital Practices

The recognition not only underscores Sopra Steria's long-term commitment to responsible digitalization, but also emphasizes their proactive approach in embedding environmental, social, and ethical considerations within their business practices. This initiative is not just about compliance; it's about leading the way in sustainable technology.

Adopting responsible digital practices strengthens Sopra Steria's position in the European market, particularly with the appointment of dedicated Responsible Digital referents and the expansion of this framework to encompass new divisions within the company.

Responsible Digital Transformation

In the era of accelerated artificial intelligence adoption, controlling the environmental, social, and ethical impacts of technology becomes critically important. Sopra Steria views this as a vital issue for its resilience, sovereignty, and competitiveness. The company incorporates sustainability criteria into the design of its digital services, guided by the General Reference of Ecodesign for Digital Services (RGESN). This framework aims to minimize both resource consumption and energy usage while also addressing rapid obsolescence of digital equipment such as PCs and servers.

Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Practices

In addition to its ecodesign strategies, Sopra Steria has unveiled two open-source solutions designed to assess the environmental impact of digital products and services. One focuses on the ecodesign of AI models, while the other evaluates information systems comprehensively through their Sustainable IT Platform. Moreover, Sopra Steria contributes to the establishment of standards for frugal AI across Europe, emphasizing their role in shaping future technologies responsibly.

Engagement Across All Departments

The initiative for responsible digital transformation also actively involves Sopra Steria's functional departments, focusing on concrete actions like optimizing infrastructure and gradually introducing sustainable performance requirements in their IT procurement processes. Complementing these efforts is a robust awareness and training plan aimed at equipping employees with knowledge on ecodesign principles. By the end of 2025, over 10,000 employees are expected to have participated in awareness initiatives or training sessions related to ecodesign.

The Level 2 Responsible Digital Label reflects Sopra Steria's commitment to leading in the area of responsible technology and sets a benchmark for the industry. Their approach proves that responsible digitalization can be a key driver of sustainable transformation within the organization and for its clients.
