| Abstract (ENG): |
Nowadays, companies face two challenges in order to remain
innovative and competitive. The first is to digitally transform their production, products and services. Second, addressing sustainability topics to reduce their global footprint. However, introducing new digital technologies may contradict
company’s sustainability goals. For example, introducing a digital technology that improves assembly lines, but thereby increases the energy consumption.
The paper introduces a sustainability-enabled assessment framework for digital technologies (SAFT) supporting companies to choose the best digital technology for them. The SAFT framework assesses digital technologies in terms of
sustainability factors as well as crucial aspects such as technology potential, and the fit to company. The paper concludes with a case study in which the SAFT
framework is applied to a company in the construction industry. |
