Your Commitment to Operationalizing Sustainability Transparency, and Local Impact
Growing digital infrastructure creates wide-ranging challenges
The rapid expansion of digitalization and the digital economy is reshaping our world. This expansion has led to a significant increase in demand for digital infrastructure. However, the market for digital infrastructure is highly concentrated and increasing the demand is absorbed by a handful of actors.
At Leitmotiv, we believe the economic opportunities from the expansion of infrastructure created should be accessible to all. And we believe the market should be shaped in a way that sustainability, transparency, and local impact of the businesses providing infrastructure and services are rewarded. This creates incentives for providers to implement balanced practices that prioritize environmental impact reduction as well as social benefit.
By committing to the SDIA program, providers and purchasers, as well as other market actors, enable a transformation of the digital infrastructure market using a values-based approach, grounded in sustainability, transparency, and local impact – ensuring that the growth of digital infrastructure benefits businesses, society, and our planet equally.
Values matter
As digital infrastructure is rapidly expanding, both society and businesses who utilize IT are expecting more than technical excellence. They demand environmental responsibility, operational transparency, and a positive contribution to the local economy from the providers they choose to do business with.
01
Customers who implement the SDIA program values in their purchasing decisions give a clear signal to the market that they expect more.
02
Providers who respond to these requirements by bringing the values into their business and operational practices can compete and differentiate themselves in a value-based digital infrastructure market.
Your commitment is the starting point
With the SDIA program, we enable providers and purchasers to operationalize these values –transforming aspirational goals into tangible actions and measurable outcomes. It starts with commitment, but requires concrete implementation which we support with our platform, knowledge-sharing and advocacy.
