IT technologies for more sustainability

Digital transformation to achieve sustainable development goals

The future is green and digital. Technologies such as AI, data analytics, green cloud, and green coding help reduce emissions, create transparency, and leverage potential. As a sustainable digitalization expert, Lufthansa Industry Solutions supports companies in their green transformation.

EU Directive, Supply Chain Act and Co. - regulatory pressure is increasing

Now more than ever, companies are being called upon to do business sustainably for ecological, economic, and social reasons: one driver is the Federal Climate Protection Act. It stipulates that Germany must be climate-neutral by 2045. Companies should therefore reduce their CO2 footprint in time to avoid unnecessary costs through compensation payments.

The EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) along with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) obliges large companies - and from 2025 onwards also the traditional SME sector - to provide comprehensive sustainability reporting. In addition, the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act will require even stricter compliance with environmental protection and human rights along the entire value chain and documentation of the measures taken to achieve this as early as 2023. Here, too, there is a threat of severe fines in the future.

Today, customers and investors are already looking very closely to see whether a company is merely painting itself green or whether sustainability is part of its strategy and culture before they make their purchase or investment decision. Moreover, the topic of sustainability increasingly determines how well a company can position itself in the competition for the best-skilled workers. This is also confirmed by a survey of more than 1,000 employees conducted by Lufthansa Industry Solutions (LHIND).

In your opinion, how does compliance with social and ecological standards generally affect companies?

Eight out of ten employees believe that compliance with environmental and social standards makes a company more attractive as an employer. (from employee survey Supply Chain Act, 79%, agree/disagree)

Digital transformation ensures future viability

In the face of this plethora of obligations, sustainability presents many companies with major challenges. There is often a lack of data and transparency in order to design processes and structures or even business models sustainably.

The ability to manage sustainably is therefore closely related to a company's level of maturity in the fields of digitalization and technology. This is because IT-technological solutions help companies to meet customer requirements and legal regulations, create transparency, optimize processes and save resources and costs. Digital transformation is therefore about nothing less than the future viability and thus the survival of a company.
