Human progress must embed our Natural Capital
We mitigate our environmental impact to preserve our planet.
Tech power seems virtual and infinite, but it does have materiality. Today digital represents around 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and it’s expected to increase exponentially if we don’t take action. Our duty as a tech company is to unlock the tech potential for green solutions, while limiting its materiality in a virtuous approach.
Our key actions
Measuring our impact
At Devoteam we have lead a carbon assessment at Group level, to set the baseline to take initiative and improve.
Lead mitigation and adaptation actions
Our near-term science-based emissions reduction targets and our net-zero targets are approved by SBTi.
Promoting action
Through different initiatives Devoteamers can join in environmental and sustainable efforts and include good practices in their daily activities.

Upskilling on Sustainable IT
With the objective of mitigating environmental footprint of digital technology, plus the imperative to rethink digital technology so that it carries more inclusive and ethical values for the women and men within our society, Devoteam launched a global certification program on Sustainable IT, based on partners MOOC and platforms.
It is made of two levels, first one based on the MOOC from the “European Institute for Sustainable IT” (ISIT), second one being “Green Software For Practitioners – LFC131” by the Linux Foundation
The objective is to certify at least 70% of Devoteamers by 2025.

Sailing for Science: A Round-the-World Environmental Mission
Offshore racing can also be a tremendous opportunity for science and the environment, as demonstrated by the sporting and scientific feat accomplished by Fabrice Amedeo and his non-stop round-the-world voyage during the last Vendée Globe. He equipped his boat and carried measurement instruments to undertake ambitious projects to help the scientific community better understand the impact of climate change on our oceans. Devoteam supports him in his overall action:
- Oceanographic Project: Collecting data on ocean temperature, CO2, salinity, and analyzing the presence and dispersion of microplastic, biodiversity mapping via an environmental DNA sensor). Devoteam will also assist with data analysis.
- Educational Project: Raising awareness among students about ocean preservation with digital educational support and his educational boat accessible to children (and adults!).
- Energy Transition: A round-the-world voyage completed without fossil fuels, thanks to wind turbines, solar panels, and hydro generators.
- Solidarity Project: €1 donated to associations for each nautical mile covered.
Devoteam Foundation Story : CREA Mont-Blanc
AI to study the impact of climate change on wildlife
Since 2019, Devoteam has been supporting CREA Mont-Blanc, a research center for Alpine ecosystems, specializing in the study of natural mountain environments. In order to get more data to deepen, improve and make their research more efficient, CREA Mont-Blanc see a growing need for advanced technological solutions. The Devoteam Foundation supported CREA Mont-Blanc by developing tech solutions for automatic monitoring and interpretation of mountain environments, as well as providing funding for participation in larger research projects. With this, CREA Mont-Blanc gained access to technology that enabled them to collect more data, interpret mountain environments and predict future changes. The funding from Devoteam Foundation France allowed them to participate in larger research projects, expanding their ability to share insights and knowledge with wider audiences.

Commitment to biodiversity conservation
Since 2022, Devoteam France has partnered with “Un Toit pour les Abeilles”, a network of around 100 beekeepers who promote local, artisanal beekeeping that respects bees. We have been supporting the Castle of Rambouillet apiary. The beehives are installed in the grounds of the castle managed by the Chambord estate. This is a 980-hectare park in the heart of the Rambouillet forest. There are many lime trees, as well as acacias and chestnut trees.
- 150 kg of honey since 2022
- Up to 180 000 bees in summer
- 37,5 kg of honey in 2024
Reforestation through our Blossom Engagement
As part of the On Boarding Process all new Devoteamers have the opportunity to counter-balance part of their Carbon Emissions by planting a tree in cooperation with Reforest’Action. Appart from the offset CO2 the initiative has so far:
- 27,600+ shelters for animals
- 900+ hours of work for local communities
- 36,900 months of oxygen generated
Planting Trees, Reducing Carbon: Procori’s Climate Action
Procori, which in 2024 became part of Devoteam, has been a Climate Action Workforce subscriber with Ecologi since 2022, intending to plant one tree per invoiced working hour and fund tree planting for every customer delivery and project. Since joining, they have supported 16 reforestation initiatives and contributed to the planting of over 40,000 trees while mitigating more than 1,000 tonnes of CO₂. In 2024, Procori funded 2,000+ trees and actively supported three key reforestation projects: Afromontane reforestation in Mau, Kenya, Mangrove planting in Kandrany, Madagascar, and reforestation in Gewocha Forest, Ethiopia, all being certified by either the Gold Standard or Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard (VCS).
Devoteam Sustainable Development Month
In October 2024, Devoteam organised a Sustainable Development Month with a range of activities, both global and local. The objective: promote Devoteam’s commitment to the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals; giving all Devoteamers a chance to learn more about the Sustainable Development Goals, get involved and find out how we can include them in all our activities.
2000 Devoteamers from 15 countries participated in this international event with 13 global and local activities to encourage their engagement for a better change
ØreDev: Keeping a low carbon footprint and strengthening knowledge to the community
Øredev is an international developers conference held annually in Malmö, Sweden. It is one of the largest developers conferences in the Nordics, supporting knowledge sharing in the community. The conference features multiple tracks, covering topics such as software development, data, AI security, emerging technologies, among others.
Øredev was founded in 2005 by Jayway, called Devoteam Creative Tech today, to strengthen knowledge in the front edge of technology in the local community In 2024, Øredev hosted 111 speakers and 1100+ participants who could listen to 120+ sessions under the theme Connect the Dots and also network and share experiences. To minimize the conference’s environmental impact, only vegetarian and vegan food served on biodegradable paper plates with wooden utensils, and reusable water bottles were distributed to attendees and speakers to replace disposable cups. The venue for ØREDEV is certified in sustainability and placed close to bus and train stations to make it easy for people to commute by public transport.
