Event Language: English **More info:** The IT sector now has a larger share of global greenhouse gas emissions than aviation, maritime transport, or waste management. With the growing role of digitalization in our lives, this is only expected to increase. As such, the moment is rapidly approaching for our industry to take responsibility for our operations and rightfully be compelled to disclose our contribution to the pollution of our planet. This means that, from this point forward, environmental considerations must be a prominent component in every decision related to investments, partnerships, reorganization, and technology. At Fairbanks, we embarked on our journey toward a more sustainable business operation approximately a year ago, and it has proven to be anything but straightforward. We invite you to join us on this expedition, where we will shed light on the challenges we’ve encountered and explain why this voyage feels like pioneering. In this webinar, we will engage in discussions about various themes associated with transitioning toward a more sustainable business operation such as: how to get started, twin transition, reporting obligations (CSRD), assessing your own impact, avoiding greenwashing, embracing corporate social responsibility, existing certification, reduction and compensation, and other inevitabilities for IT companies. ![Michiel](https://fairbanks-upgrade.ubo-dev.nl/media/uploads/2025/06/Michiel.jpeg?width=500 "Michiel") ## Want to know more about open source private cloud Let’s talk with Michiel Manten [Let's talk](https://fairbanks-upgrade.ubo-dev.nl/contact/?subject=Free%20Webinar:%20How%20to%20prioritize%20sustainability%20in%20a%20rapidly%20changing%20IT%20world?)
