Today, transportation contributes more than 25% of the carbon footprint, highest in the world! Cars and airplanes are amongst the biggest contributors. Countries and companies try to find alternatives to decrease this impact. Objectives are set to achieve a “smaller footprint” or “better energy saves” with a massive investment made from G7 countries and beyond Europe (Cluster 5) reaching 97 billion Euros.
We can already see some transformations today. Going from fossil fuels to electricity and using materials that decrease the pollution in the final life cycle are one illustration of those changes. Suppliers need to adapt to this transformation, adjust internal procedures and evolve towards greener products and processes.
IT companies are the best ally to bring necessary technology to be greener. For example, new mobile applications help to adopt the new mobility model, MaaS known as “Mobility as a Service”. This concept focuses on connecting the energy charging points of a city. It provides necessary infrastructure to collect specific information and data processing. Using KPIs allow to continuously adjust the processes and technology applied with efficiency and security
This Green IT concept becomes more and more present in our day-to-day life, based on this definition: “Green IT is a set of studies and practices on the use of computers and IT resources in a more efficient and environmentally responsible way.”
To achieve the best efficiency and smaller footprint, IT companies are transforming their internal processes and manufactured equipment while simultaneously supporting customers challenges and needs.
Many others are being added to this list. Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, as a key player in IT communications and a big supporter of the Transportation market, is implementing best practices to reduce internally its footprint impact with a flexible offer. It starts by recycling in compliance with the WEEE Directive and its regulations, within the member states of the European Union. In 2019, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise achieved EcoVadis Silver certification (52%) with satisfactory sustainability practices. Last but not least, we achieved the Top 7% of manufactures for ethics, with the objective to become neutral in 2030.
Continuing with the annual corporate social responsibility assessments, the company’s evaluation is based on the ISO 26000 standard, as well as the principles of the Global Reporting Initiative and the United Nations Global Compact.
In addition, ALE is constructing and developing equipment that can help customers evolve towards greener practices themselves. Products that ensuren a limited environmental impact while operating your networks efficiently.
ALE products lines, Switches and Deskphones, typically support various standards.
ALE provides the best network solutions tailored to the Transportation industry while helping companies reach greener practices and objectives themselves.
