Digital sustainability will be a decisive competitive advantage in the long term. Liip supports companies in the development and implementation of their strategy.

Towards a more responsible digital future

Our experts support companies in evaluating and implementing a digital sustainability strategy. Depending on the needs and maturity level of our clients’ digital sustainability strategy, we work together across the three levels of action: we optimise the digital product, gradually make the entire IT system more sustainable, and initiate cultural change within the company.

Flourishing with long-lasting digital solutions aligned with the environment is possible. Implementing responsible digital practices in your activities is not only about the environment. It is a mid to long term investment for your business, your information system and digital products.

Evaluating and improving digital products

Based on the Web Sustainability Guidelines from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), our experts assess digital products to implement targeted improvements that enhance social, ecological, and economic sustainability.

We provide support in the following areas:

  • Eco-Conception coaching and training to provide guidance in creating, durable, and design and code with a lesser footprint on the environment
  • Digital eco-design audit highlighting the sustainability potential and impactful actions your company can take on a digital product such as an application or a website
  • Ethical & Responsible generative AI: We all want to take advantage of IA based solutions. We show you how it’s possible with a lower impact on the planet, its resources and people
  • Improve accessibility and enhance usability through improved design content and code, while minimise performance gaps between different devices
  • Develop a responsible communication strategy to put forward content that is relevant to your communication channels when it comes to communicating your efforts and choices in terms of sustainability

Eco-designing a website or an app is not just a story of ecology. It improves speed, accessibility and the user experience. Ultimately, it reduces costs and raises conversion.

Driving change at the company level

The importance placed on (digital) sustainability within a company and the measures implemented depend heavily on both the corporate sustainability strategy and company culture. To meet stakeholder demands and adapt to evolving regulations, our experts share their extensive experience and insights from Liip’s own implementation.

Our expertise supports clients in:

  • Integrating sustainability (particularly digital) into your management systems
  • Reporting and communicating operational sustainability progress
  • Defining the company’s sustainability purpose and supporting internal transformation – based on years of experience with the Holacracy organizational model
  • Developing initiatives to increase employee engagement in (digital) sustainability
  • Measuring corporate sustainability by implementing a systematic, data-driven approach to measuring a company's positive impact, as exemplified by Liip's Progress Metric
  • Support in achieving sustainability certifications, such as ISO 14000 or B Corp

Many organisations label themselves and their products as sustainable. However, it is crucial for consumers and employees to understand what this means in concrete terms. Drawing from our own sustainability journey at Liip, we assist organisations in making (digital) sustainability measurable and tangible internally. And subsequently communicating it effectively to external audiences.
