Dear valued readers,
hope you are doing very well. For those in the Northern Hemisphere, we now enter a period in time where we spend more time indoors and I hope you also find the time not only to read this newsletter, but also comment on it, so we see a little bit for engagement in this growing community. Thank you.
Hopefully to read the articles on the Sustainable Supply Chain Framework already. If not, I would encourge you to do so. Those who have have ask themselves how do I introduce all those concepts into an organization and this is excactly what the Digital Sustainability Playbook is intending to do. Today I would like to give you a small insight into its content, talking about a Digital Sustainability Maturity Model.
Digital Sustainability Maturity Model
(c) 2024 INOVIA Consulting
The Digital Sustainability Maturity Model (DSMM) describes how the topic of digital sustainability can be introduced into an organization over time, building up capabilities that support a prioritized portfolio of sustainability use cases.
?
Transparency
The Transparency level provides insights into the current sustainability performance of the organization. This supports use cases like CSRD reporting. From a digital perspective the enablers are a sustainability data model, based on a business value portfolio and Digital Product Passports as well as Data Spaces to securely exchange standardized sustainability data in the supply chain.
Acceleration
The Acceleration level leads to faster development of higher quality digital solutions that support all sustainability use cases.
From a digital perspective the enabler is a Solution Development Co-Pilot platform, where genAI co-pilots are used in the different phase of a digital solution development. This is described in more detail in Solution Architecture Co-Pilot Architecture.

Also blueprints for sustainability use cases are used to accelerate digital solution development. These blueprints can be found in the Sustainable Supply Chain Reference Architecture of the Sustainable Supply Chain Framework.
Process Optimization
The Process Optimization Level strives to achieve reducing the sustainability impact of an organization by implementing digital enablers to lower for example carbon emissions from production or reduce waste.
From a digital perspective the key enablers are Digital Twins, that support use cases like the reduction of energy consumption in manufacturing operations.
Product Optimization
The Product Optimization Level strives to achieve reducing the sustainability impact in the supply chain, especially the suppliers and customers of an organization.
On the supply side topics like embedded carbon footprint and human rights violations are examples and on the customer side topics like increased product safety and energy efficient use of products
From a digital perspective the key enablers are Digital Twins, Digital Product Passports and Data Space.
Digital Technology Optimization
The Digital Technology Optimization Level looks at the sustainability impact of the digital technologies themselves and how they can be reduced. Topics here contain the sustainability performance of digital hardware, e.g. the embedded carbon footprint or energy consumption or “green software development”, as promoted by the Green Software Foundation. Also, the use of renewable energy for operating the digital technology landscape is part of this level.
I am use the Digital Sustainability Playbook in the work with my clients, so if you are interested to learn more, please feel free to contact me

3 个月Thank you for sharing your journey and insights with us this year. The introduction of the Digital Sustainability Playbook is timely and crucial as organizations increasingly recognize the importance of integrating sustainability into their digital strategies. I'm particularly interested in how the Digital Sustainability Maturity Model can serve as a roadmap for companies to assess and enhance their sustainability efforts. Looking forward to engaging with this new topic and seeing how it can drive meaningful change.

3 个月Soon, due to reglementary requirements, many organizations will have to take that first step towards "Transparency". I hope they take that opportunity to build on that foundation by going further on the road to digital sustainability. ??Providing a pathway, and tools to enable this progress is key. Thanks for your precious work as a facilitator on this, Peter Klement, along with the community mobilized for digital responsibility. ??
