As a Microsoft BeLux Partner, we stand for sustainability through our:

• Conversations: making sustainability part of every supplier and customer engagement moving forward.
• Partnerships: embedding sustainability into strategic alliances.
• Transparency: increasing transparency around our carbon footprint for our services and offerings.
• Initiatives: projects to improve our partner’s own environmental impact.
• Tools: utilizing new tools to enable customers to better monitor and manage their IT carbon footprint

A platform that ensures 98% decrease in carbon footprint

By 2025, Azure will shift to 100% supply of renewable energy, for 100% of carbon-emitting electricity consumed by all their datacenters, buildings, and campuses. A 2018 study found that using moving your workloads to the Azure cloud can reduce your IT carbon footprint up to 98%, thanks to Microsoft’s investments in IT efficiency from chip-to-datacenter infrastructure and renewable energy. Migrating your workloads to Azure can reduce your IT energy usage up to 93%. Topping it up with Kubernetes or PaaS to dense your workloads, you can use less server space and slash your energy bill even more (source: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56950).

A cloud partner that enables you to optimize your consumption and costs

It’s all about adjusting resources based on demand. Use and pay for only what you need at the moment. Automatically. The cloud connects people and data in a smart way to drive progress in your business and in climate action. Measure, monitor, reduce, reuse and recycle automatically through DexMach predictable deployment and smart cloud insights and for operational excellence, lower consumption and lower costs. Our customers moved at least 90% of their on-premises infrastructure to the cloud to optimize IT operations and sustainability (number based on the initial project scope).

Our core concept is to keep the whole cloud journey sustainable: we work with pluggable secure & simple cloud building blocks, smart cloud insights, expert coaching system and highly reliable automated services. This approach helps our partners to grow in a flexible way with minimum resources while they stay in control.

Earth projects that support climate action

To make every customer story complete, after each cloud project we start up a new earth project. We support various deforestation, biodiversity, and bee protection initiatives in Europe and around the world to combat climate change. For each customer we start up something new. Besides, we are constantly taking actions to align on UN sustainability goals.

We all are connected, need to feel connected and are more connected than we are actually aware of. We can think about being connected to the business value defined and how we can collaborate to deliver that value. The return on investment cannot be limited anymore to monthly salary income only.

• Masterclasses, competence meetings and challenging projects are supplying energy on a technical level. Happiness for team members around the job involvement is equally important! Let’s take the example of our DexMove program: we encourage our #OneTeam to go explore the world and take up sports, aided by technology to keep us going green and healthy, and we added a bit of a competition sauce on top of it. And as “Sharing is caring”, we made the DexMove program available to everyone who is looking for an IT-supported, companywide sports and health program.
• Creating insights to have “green” reports. Our green paths not only lead into the cloud, they reach out to the world in many ways. By migrating to the cloud, we support companies in reducing their carbon footprint and saving precious energy,  and by taking that path, we are joining Microsoft in their shift towards 100 percent of renewable energy. Some examples:
• • More electric cars in the pool. We currently have a 50/50 rate between pure electric and fuel powered cars, and we aim for 75% electric cars by the end of 2022.
  • Eco-insights as an extra layer of cloud assessments to evaluate the benefits of cloud migrations.
  • We support the EcoTree project by planting a tree for you and one for us for each project we do, to stop deforestation in Europe.
  • Remote working with a “valuable time @ the office” policy.
  • Green marketing:
    • green goodies,
    • Reusable ‘plug & play’ trade show materials from sustainable wood
    • minimize printing and the purchase of non-reusable elements
