Digital Sustainability - Women in Sustainability Network Workshop

The internet's energy consumption continues to rise exponentially

The misconception of the internet as an infinite resource is becoming a significant environmental problem.

With the proliferation of internet-connected users and devices and the daily generation of vast amounts of data, there is an urgent need to  tackle our digital carbon footprint, both individually and collectively.

For career professionals, understanding of digital sustainability as a crucial part of a broader sustainability strategy is becoming increasingly important.

With the ever-evolving industry standards, we still have time to be one of the early adopters of digital sustainability before it becomes a legal requirement. Failure to address digital sustainability could result in becoming obsolete in industries increasingly prioritising environmental responsibility.

For business owners, the consequences are equally significant.

Ignoring digital sustainability could lead to increased operational costs, loss of customers who prioritise eco-conscious businesses and reputational damage in an age where corporate social responsibility is of vital importance.

Join us for a packed, informative hour for this Women in Sustainability workshop with our fabulous guest expert Marketa Benisek, Digital Sustainable Lead, Wholegrain Digital and Climate Reality Leader.

You'll gain insights into the concept of digital sustainability and its implications for your roles or businesses, as well as be equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate the challenges of digital sustainability, ensuring both personal and professional success in an increasingly environmentally-conscious world.

You can expect us to cover:

• Practical examples and tools: Through real-life examples and tools, attendees will learn actionable steps to improve the sustainability of their websites as well as their online behaviour.
• Business and planetary benefits: The session will highlight the dual benefits of having a sustainable website - not only does it make websites more energy efficient and therefore less polluting, but it also makes them better performant, more accessible and more user friendly, which can lead to higher engagement and conversion rates as well as an enhanced business reputation.

And don't just take our word for how fab this will be!
