Digitalization and sustainability

Twin Transformation

The world is becoming more digital, and it must become more sustainable as well. But real power comes from combining these two transformations. The so-called twin transformation links digitalization and sustainability in order to exploit synergies and create future-oriented solutions for companies.

Digitalization & sustainability:
Twin transformation for the future of your business

How digitalization contributes to sustainable business

The world is becoming increasingly digital – and becoming more sustainable is a necessity. The greatest opportunity lies in combining both developments. The twin transformation combines digitalization and sustainability to create synergies and make companies fit for the future.

However, many companies are still facing the challenge of integrating this twin transformation into their existing structures. Frequently there is a lack of clarity and transparency about how digitalization and sustainability interact optimally. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a major driver of digitalization, but it not only creates new opportunities — it also brings challenges, such as the high energy consumption of AI systems and potential biases within algorithms. Responsible use of AI is therefore essential to fully harness its potential for the twin transformation.

Our vision: Making twin transformation tangible for your company

We will help you explain the synergies between sustainability and digitalization and define precisely which steps your company must take.

Sustainability strategy: Creating a solid foundation for transformation

At the beginning of each project, we develop a sustainability strategy and a roadmap. This includes defining a sustainable business model, specifying strategic objectives, and designing governance structures to ensure effective implementation. Compliance with regulatory requirements and reporting standards all along the supply chain is also an essential component. By ensuring ESG compliance, we create a robust foundation for your company’s sustainable transformation.

Implementation: Establish sustainability in practice

The strategic definition guides the practical implementation. Our focus at valantic is on three core areas:

Decarbonization, climate, & environmental protection: We help companies measure, track, and reduce their environmental footprint. This includes taking measures to reduce emissions, conserve resources, and generate sustainable energy.

Sustainable supply chains & processes: Establishing sustainable supply chains and procurement processes is crucial for securing long-term resilience and transparency. With detailed risk management and optimized processes, we ensure that sustainability is deeply embedded in the value chains. Link here to the performance page.

Circular economy: We develop and implement measures to minimize resource consumption, extend product life cycles, and reduce environmental impacts. Our goal is to establish a circular economy that avoids waste and creates sustainable material cycles. Link here to the performance page.

Digitalization strategy: Strengthening the sustainability transformation

Digital transformation supports sustainability transformation and amplifies its impact. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a central role in this, enabling companies to analyze data more quickly, automate processes, and make well-informed decisions. In the first step, we develop a digitalization strategy and architecture that serves as the foundation for sustainable transformation.

In the second step, an AI-enabled data strategy and data management approach is implemented to ensure that relevant sustainability data can be captured, stored, and leveraged effectively. By integrating artificial intelligence and modern data management processes, your company gains valuable insights to improve its sustainability performance. In addition, we implement automated tool support, relying on powerful, AI-based solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into your existing system landscape.
