Context
A major European airport with more than 1,000 staff wanted to measure and reduce the environmental impact of its digital infrastructure while aligning IT strategy with regional and international climate goals.
Already engaged in sustainability, the organisation lacked a clear view of its digital footprint and a structured strategy to integrate it into its CSR policy.
Sector backdrop. Transport operators run safety-critical, multi-site IT estates where uptime is non-negotiable. Sustainable IT decisions therefore have to be reconciled with strict availability and certification constraints, but the scale of the fleet means even small per-device improvements add up.
Our intervention
We delivered a layered programme combining scientific analysis, training and strategic co-construction.
- Full lifecycle measurement covering office IT, data centres, network and cloud (ISO 14040/44 + GHG Protocol).
- Three days of participative workshops to mobilise teams around Sustainable IT.
- Co-creation of a five-axis roadmap: governance, training, IS, responsible procurement, end-of-life & circularity.
- Full preparation for the Sustainable IT Label. Level 1.
Results
Clear and quantified view of the global digital footprint. Sustainable IT culture deployed across IT, HR, communication and procurement. Operational roadmap to reach the label, with measurable goals at 6, 12 and 24 months. IT fleet optimisation reduced renewal and energy costs.
Why this matters
Combining a footprint assessment with certification preparation shortens the path from raw data to recognised maturity: the same evidence base feeds both the reduction roadmap and the official label dossier, instead of being collected twice in different formats.
A few patterns came out of the engagement that tend to repeat across organisations of similar scale: the largest share of the footprint almost always lives in end-user devices, not in the data centre; preparing the evidence file progressively, rather than at the end, saves weeks of last-minute work; teams engage far more when they see numbers from their own organisation, not generic averages.
How the MIKUJY platform supported the work
The MIKUJY platform was used end-to-end to structure the engagement, host the data and consolidate results in dashboards the teams could revisit at any time.
More specifically, the Measure module powered the IT footprint and Sustainable IT maturity assessment, turning scattered inventories into a single comparable baseline; the Implement module structured the certification preparation, mapping each requirement to a personalised Sustainable IT roadmap and tracking evidence over time; and the Gamify module fed the awareness workshops with the organisation's own numbers and challenges, so participants could engage with their real footprint rather than generic averages.
MIKUJY consultants brought hands-on professional support throughout the engagement, facilitating workshops, validating data and helping translate the platform outputs into a concrete action plan.
