PRINCIPLES
The five sustainable digitalisation principles provide the overarching definition of what it means to leverage technology and data ethically, responsibly, and sustainably:
Clarity of purpose
The reasons for developing or using digital solutions are carefully considered and made clear to users and other potentially impacted stakeholders.
Benefit to humanity
The fundamental experience of being human is supported, including our dignity, human rights, and the qualities of healthy societies, such as fairness, inclusion and diversity.
Whole impact
Environmental, social and governance benefits are sought from digital solutions and harm associated with their use is avoided or minimised.
Broad responsibility
Responsibility for the environmental, social and governance issues associated with a digital solution covers the broader systems it is part of, its whole lifecycle and its supply chain.
Stakeholder accountability
Accountability for the environmental, social or governance issues arising from the use of technology and data are clearly defined and managed.
