Where does the technology industry stand today, and where does it want to go in terms of sustainability? With the website technologyforabetterworld.be, technology federation Agoria combines its efforts, ambitions and targets for the first time.

Our client

Agoria Federation for Technology

Our challenge

Creating the Belgian technology industry’s first sustainability report

Our solution

A sustainability hub that clusters the sector’s impacts and engagements and offers guidance to tech companies that aim to become more sustainable

Dedicated website

Agoria, the sectoral federation for the technology industry in Belgium, gathers more than 2,000 technology-inspired companies and defends their interests. With its knowledge, expertise and extensive network, the federation dedicates itself to the future of companies.

In its first sustainability report, Agoria transparently communicates the sector’s impact on people and the planet, as well as the solutions that the technology industry is developing to tackle global warming and other societal challenges.

Digital sustainability hub

The report takes the shape of a dedicated website – a sustainability hub – accessible on the Agoria website. On this navigable hub you will find:

• Agoria’s sustainability strategy and sustainability roadmap (including engagements, targets and KPIs)

• interactive charts visualising the impact in twelve domains: from sustainable employment and climate change to digitisation and the data economy

• sustainable projects and initiatives

• inspiring company cases

We also created a clickable PDF, which concisely summarises the content and allows stakeholders to download and browse the complete report.

Benchmark

This first sustainability report can be regarded as a benchmark. In the coming years, it will act as a vital tool in keeping Agoria’s finger on the pulse, allowing further refinement of the sustainability strategy, increasing ambitions, (re-)defining KPIs, and systematically integrating sustainability, both in Agoria’s operations and in the business strategies of its members.

Communication tool

This sustainability report is intended to be more than just a reporting tool. It is also a strategic communication tool, allowing the technology industry to assure its employees, business partners, the media, the financial world, and other parties that it has a licence to operate.

Finally, the report supplies valuable tools for companies inside and outside the technology sector to help them demonstrate transparency and engage in sustainability (reporting).
