Resilio

Under its LIFE 360 strategy, LVMH aims to reduce the environmental footprint of all its activities, IT included. The group needed one tool to assess the IT footprint of each house: more than 17 Maisons, each with 5 or more perimeters, with clear actions to meet reduction targets. A first life cycle assessment on Resilio Tech covered 6 Maisons and set the baseline, with data collected in less than 3 months; 11 more Maisons were assessed the following year. Action plans are simulated to quantify the potential reduction, and internal benchmarks between Maisons help them share good practices.

L'Occitane wanted to quantify the environmental impact of its information system at international level, build a Green IT roadmap, track the footprint over time and make its teams autonomous. The assessment covered more than 20 perimeters: offices, stores, warehouses and factories in several countries. A first life cycle assessment fed the Green IT roadmap, and a second one a year later measured how the footprint changed from 2021 to 2022. 20 teams now use Resilio Tech on their own, and action plan simulations help refine the roadmap.

Under article 13 of the French AGEC law, telecom operators must show the CO₂ emissions of their internet services on customer bills, following the Product Category Rules for internet service providers written by ADEME in 2021. From April to October 2023, Resilio worked with ADEME to test these rules: it built a life cycle model to ISO 14040/44 and delivered it to Orange, SFR / Iliad and Bouygues Telecom, then extrapolated the results to estimate the impact of the internet in France.

The French REEN law requires towns of more than 50,000 inhabitants to adopt a strategy for responsible digital use. Espelia, a Resilio partner, uses the Resilio platform and its maturity benchmarks to assess the footprint of the Paris city administration and build an action plan that brings the City in line with the law. Resilio's experts follow the mission and train the Espelia and City of Paris teams on the tools and on life cycle assessment methods.

• City and partner teams trained in LCA

Together with Ramboll, Resilio was commissioned to assess the environmental footprint of 10 day-to-day digital behaviours. Working closely with DG ENER and DG CNECT, the team built a simplified life cycle model and quantified the energy use and environmental impact of one hour of video streaming, videoconferencing, social gaming, music streaming and social networking, storing 1 GB in the cloud, downloading data from the cloud, switching off a router for two weeks, extending the life of a smartphone, and writing, sending and reading an email with an attachment.
