Deadline: 14-Sep-25
The Capgemini Nordic Sustainability Tech Award celebrates organizations across the Nordic region creating innovative technology solutions for a sustainable future.
The urgency of the global climate crisis demands ground-breaking technology and IT service innovations that scale across industries. The Capgemini Nordic Sustainability Tech Award celebrates the inspirational tech pioneers pushing the boundaries of sustainable IT and its role in limiting the environmental and social impact of climate change.
Evaluation Criteria
- Provide information, reasoning or calculations and supporting documentation, describing the contribution to each of the five evaluation criteria:
- Scalability and Adoptability – Explain if and how the project/product/service can be adopted and scaled both within your company and industry and more broadly to other industries. And tell them what disruptive technologies or constellation of existing tech you’re using to make a difference.
- Technological Leadership – Describe the technological base on which the project/product/service has been developed, such as whether it is software or hardware based, or perhaps an IT process change. And tell them how innovatively your nomination incorporates sustainability and what level of disruption it will create compared to existing technologies.
- Business Viability – Explain if, when, and how the project/ product/service is expected to become financially viable. They would like to understand how it is expected to generate improved value to your company, its market positioning and profitability. They also want to see quantitative reasoning to understand when the financial benefits are expected to materialize and overcome the costs.
- Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Impact – How is your nomination helping to address the global climate change challenge? You should consider the primary basis for your nomination’s emissions reduction, such as whether it’s a new, more energy efficient production process, a ’greener’ end product, such as an electric vehicle, or perhaps a recyclable product at end-of-life. How will it achieve emissions reduction, for example through new or more efficient tech, a culture shift, or process change? They also want to see quantitative evidence of the GHG emissions impact in the form of CO2 emission reduction (either effective right now or potential).
- Other ESG Impacts – Provide evidence of other environmental, social, and/or governance (ESG) impacts related to one or several of the areas covered by the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals:
- Ends poverty in all its forms everywhere.
- End hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
- Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages.
- Ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all.
- Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls.
- Ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
- Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
- Promoting sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
- Building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization and fostering innovation.
- Reducing inequality within and among countries.
- Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
- Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
- Taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
- Conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
- Protecting, restoring and promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably managing forests, combatting desertification, and halting and reversing land degradation and halting biodiversity loss.
- Promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, providing access to justice for all and building effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
- Strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development.
