# RESPONSIBLE DIGITAL CHARTER
Digital technology is revolutionizing the operation of organizations at a dizzying speed. It is a source of innovation and progress, reflecting their modernity, even becoming the showcase of their know-how.
It can be a formidable tool for creating new sustainable values, more respectful of the environment and more ethical towards society if it is framed and reflected upon in terms of impacts.
With the signature of this charter, we affirm our commitments to resolutely enter into a "Responsible Digital" approach for our organization.

### 1. Optimization and Environmental Impact
Because digital technology is a major contributor to Greenhouse Gas emissions, resource depletion and biodiversity loss, actively participating in climate change, we commit to optimizing digital tools to limit their impacts and consumption:
* By taking into account the complete Life Cycle of equipment and software, serving the energy transition.
* By extending the lifespan of equipment, even beyond their accounting depreciation.
* By responsibly designing digital services and integrating proactive technologies or devices regarding the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
* By promoting uses and practices that limit the consumption of materials, resources, energy and consumables.
* By considering our waste as a resource and its treatment as a source of jobs participating in the development of the circular economy.
* By prioritizing the use of renewable energy sources.

### 2. Accessibility, Inclusion and Sustainability
Because digital services can be sources of social exclusion, individualization, and material and software obsolescence, we commit to developing accessible service offers for all, inclusive and sustainable:
* By generalizing a responsible purchasing approach with the adoption of social and environmental clauses.
* By designing applications accessible to all (including for people with disabilities in compliance with the General Accessibility Reference for Administrations [RGAA] in France or the WCAG [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2] standard in other countries), operating with limited speed connections and not requiring latest generation equipment power.
* By revisiting applications around the 3 Us: Useful, Usable, Used to simplify their use by integrating universal accessibility to succeed in the e-inclusion of all.
* By involving the user in the design to avoid oversized tools and progressively improve the compliance level of online services.

### 3. Ethical and Responsible Practices
Because the future of organizations requires transparent and reassuring digital use for everyone, we commit to ethical and responsible digital practices:
* By developing reasoned uses of data and services in an ethical approach regarding impacts on the environment and populations.
* By collecting only useful and necessary data for user service, in order to limit risks in terms of privacy and environmental impacts in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, or by following the principles of the GDPR in compliance with data protection rules applicable locally for other countries.
* By promoting diversity of recruitments and professional equality between women and men, and more particularly within the scope of our activities around digital professions.
* By improving the conditions of digital workers internally and externally.
* By resolutely participating in algorithmic ethics systems on the use and protection of data, particularly with regard to artificial intelligence.
* By deploying and promoting the CSR approach to all collaborators.
* By making the CSR policy known to external stakeholders to involve them in our approach and our commitment to Responsible Digital.

### 4. Measurement, Transparency and Readability
Because the transition to a responsible digital environment is essential to ensure the resilience of organizations, we commit to making digital technology measurable, transparent, and readable:
* By respecting common standards to collect, gather, analyze and share data on the impacts of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
* By participating in a collaborative design and evaluation approach of digital services in line with real needs.
* By remaining innovative in the use of new tools to collect data and ensure their analysis with transparency and visibility.
---
### 5. Creation of New Values and New Behaviors
But also because digital technology is a formidable lever for value creation, and because tomorrow is written today, we commit to promoting the emergence of new behaviors and values:
* By including social innovation in the definition of new digital systems and services.
* By promoting internal initiatives that mobilize the organization, favor transversal collaborations and well-being at work.
* By streamlining our procedures to reduce resource consumption, while prioritizing quality and the creation of new jobs.
* By seeking the commitment and expertise of our stakeholders on collaborative productions, around employment, inclusion, well-being and quality of life.
* By allowing future generations to innovate to build a world open to others, concerned about the balance of ecosystems and living well together.
* By monitoring performance and compliance indicators for the achievement of CSR objectives.
* By proposing areas for improvement.
