Tests

Are all decision-making bodies ready to develop an eco-designed digital service in your organization at this time? Does the organisation's financial strength allow it to innovate?

Precisions

To enable a Sustainable IT approach in projects, it is essential that all decision-makers adhere to it, which is necessarily the case if Sustainable IT is part of the organisation's strategy. Otherwise, it will be difficult to carry out a Sustainable IT approach, because it will constantly be necessary to find justifications to continue that way. The project would be impacted and therefore perceived as less effective "because of the Sustainable IT".
