How can you improve your organisation’s overall performance through responsible IT? CSR and the CIO: a winning combination

This was the theme of our AdVaes Insider | Dinner and Debate Conference on 5 June. On this occasion, we welcomed around fifteen managers responsible for CSR, responsible IT and sustainability projects within IT departments to share their experiences on this topic.

To open this dinner-debate, AdVaes provided some background information on the impact of digital technology and the concepts of responsible IT. Thierry Soulard, CSR Director at the Sigma Group, then took the floor to share his experience and outline the 3Ps (People, Planet, Prosperity) at the heart of his strategy:

✅ The reasons behind the CSR department’s implementation of a responsible digital policy.

✅ The initial expectations and the approach adopted.

✅ The benefits (economic, for climate strategy, CSR and the IT department).

Thank you to Thierry Soulard, Thomas Bertrand and Cedric Richard for your contributions! The feedback has been excellent, with a rating of 4.6 out of 5 for overall satisfaction and 5 out of 5 for the organisation of the event.

The aim of an AdVaes Insider is to bring peers together to discover, learn from and share experiences on a given topic, and to pass on knowledge to drive change and take action. The small-group format encourages interaction, prompting everyone to ask questions and contribute.

Here are some direct quotes highlighting what people liked about the 5 June session:

🔸 “The concise, fast-paced presentation and the time set aside for discussion.”

🔸 “It was interesting to have a case study to serve as a basis for discussion, as well as an informal discussion afterwards.”

🔸 “Mr Soulard’s presentation and the discussions with those present.”

🔸 “It’s great to be able to talk about Responsible Digitalisation with peers. Sigma shared a very interesting case study illustrating how Responsible Digitalisation has improved their business performance.”

🔸 “The discussions with people from other companies, and even other sectors (private/public), allow us to see how things work elsewhere.”

A great initiative that we hope will be repeated!
