Our increasing reliance on the digital world is leaving its mark on the planet
The digital revolution has fundamentally transformed society and will be crucial in the battle against climate change. However, from the energy used by the vast, hidden infrastructure networks that power the internet to the finite natural resources required to manufacture hardware, our increased use of digital technologies also comes with a high environmental impact.
Investors, governments, clients and employees expect the tech industry to take action and improve environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. From tech titans to emerging scale ups, momentum is growing across the sector, with ESG increasingly being incorporated into strategic planning. Accurate, transparent impact reporting anchored by credible climate commitments are fast becoming a business imperative.

Tech has a key role to play but emissions growth must be decoupled from business growth
Tech businesses have a dual role to play within the societal transition to net zero. Firstly, the industry itself must minimise its own impact on the environment by drastically cutting GHG emissions across the entire value chain and investing in the nature-based solutions required to neutralise hard-to-abate emissions and tackle biodiversity issues.
Secondly, the industry can become an enabler of net zero for individuals and other businesses through technological innovation. Achieving net zero will require a fundamental shift in everything we do – from electric vehicles to carbon removal technologies, the industry is uniquely positioned to revolutionise other industries and solve global problems.
Tech giants such as Microsoft and Google are already making great strides on both of these fronts by putting ESG performance at the heart of their corporate strategies – the wider industry must now follow suit.
