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.

Using AI to study the impact of climate change on wildlife
Devoteam Foundation x CREA Mont Blanc
CREA Mont-Blanc studies alpine environments to understand how these are impacted by climate change.
With the support of Consultants from Devoteam Revolve, CREA Mont-Blanc has been able to better leverage collaborative science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to process thousands of photos to gather data allowing for an informed decission making process.

Commitment to biodiversity conservation
Mindful of environmental issues and biodiversity in particular, Devoteam Group is seeking to play its part in addressing these fundamental issues
by installing beehives on the roofs of its head office buildings.
Devoteam Group is hosting 3 hives in the rooftop of its Headquarters, with up to 180,000 bees during the summer who produce on average 30kg of honey each year.
The Devoteam Foundation has also supported Happyculteur, who promotes the protection of bees and biodiversity, by proposing accessible beekeeping.
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:
- +16,000 habitats for wild animals
- +5,300 work spaces for local communities
- +21,400 months of oxigen generated
European Sustainable Development Weeks
In September 2022, all Devoteamers were invited to take part in the European Sustainable Development Weeks with a series of conferences and activities to raise awareness and involvement towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a specific focus on SGD 4 – Quality Education – and SDG 13 – Climate Action.
3000 Devoteamers participated in the 15+ events and challenges organised globally and in 6 countries (Denmark, France, Portugal, Tunisia, UK & Luxembourg), with various angles such as “How to work sustainably as a digital consultant?”, “Sustainable Design and Ethical IT”, or intervention of external speakers like Inclusive Coding and Time for the Planet.
They were also invited to join the new Earth Club that brings together all Devoteamers who wish to get involved in nature and ecology, driving individual initiatives with their colleagues.
Thanks to this programme I have learnt a lot regarding the carbon life cycle during the climate fresk workshop and then found concrete and measurable actions to reduce my carbon footprint thanks to the 2 tonnes workshop. Morgane Landouer, Lead Consultant France
The Carbon hackers
In 2022, a group of 30 carbon hackers from 12 countries worked together during three months to define and promote eco-friendly behaviors. During this period, they depeened their knowledge and understanding about carbon reduction, participated in a “Climate fresk” and a “2 Tonnes workshop”. Moreover, they they were encourage to network and share ideas with other Carbon Hackers before inspiring other Devoteamers through the Earth Club
Hack in the Woods Festival (Microsoft Partner Pledge) Luxembourg
Through the Microsoft Partner Pledge, Devoteamers from Luxembourg were invited to attend the Hack in the Woods festival, where people put our #TechforPeople vision to life, by helping NGOs reach their full potential with code. During 4 days, they participated in conferences, concerts, intense Coding sessions, knowledge sharing, in an amazing place with comfy teepees and many ‘team building’ activities.
Supporting Iles de Paix to rethink the mapping of field volunteers for their awareness and donation campaign was a great experience. We were able to propose a POC to the final jury! Loic Burnotte, Full stack Developer
