We create a more sustainable future

Our sustainable business model and responsible way of working are integral to our strategy and instrumental to our business success. We have updated our sustainability programme and its objectives in connection with our strategy work for the new 2023–2025 strategy period.

Our focus areas in corporate responsibility are based on our strategic policies, the expectations of key stakeholders, the characteristics of the ICT sector and business environment, the impacts of the company’s operations, and the objectives of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and Global Compact.

We see the green transition and sustainability challenges as business opportunities. Digital solutions have the potential to significantly contribute to solving sustainability challenges in other fields of business. Data is a key factor in assessing sustainability choices and making decisions.

We are part of UN Global Compact, the world's largest corporate sustainability initiative

Digia commits to UN’s ten principles related to human rights, working conditions, environment and the prevention of corruption, as well as to developing business responsibility through the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Environment

Digitalisation is a tool for ecological renewal and data is the raw material for sustainable renewal – enabling us to forecast and optimise operations and boost their efficiency based on data. It has been estimated that digital technologies will make it possible to achieve reductions of as much as 20 per cent in the emissions of other sectors by 2050 – and thus it is important for us to expand our handprint by working with our customers to cut emissions.

It has also been estimated that in 2030, more than a fifth of the energy consumed worldwide will be used for data processing and other information and communication technologies. Data utilisation causes climate emissions. For this reason, we focus on promoting resource-wise operations and Green Coding.

Our focus areas:

  • We reduce our carbon emissions
  • We favour circular economy functions
  • We operate resource-wisely and develop resource wisdom, Green IT and Green Coding activities
  • We produce customer solutions to solve sustainability challenges

Ethical principles for utilising artificial intelligence

Digia was involved in the ethics challenge of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment of Finland’s Artificial Intelligence Programme in which companies committed to formulating ethical principles for the utilisation of artificial intelligence.

By adhering to these principles, we support our customers in developing decision-making based on artificial intelligence so that it

  • does not threaten anyone's health or safety, individual data security and privacy protection
  • does not strengthen the structural inequalities in society
  • does not otherwise cause injustice, harm or suffering to individuals or groups of people.
