Syntezia seeks to reduce the environmental impact of its digital activities through measures such as optimising server use, adopting more energy-efficient technologies, and encouraging appropriate use of virtualisation and cloud computing.

The company also considers the environmental footprint associated with everyday digital activities and regularly analyses the impact of uses such as email, streaming, videoconferencing, Wi-Fi and 5G

Responsible digital technology also requires responsible information management.

Syntezia's approach includes clear confidentiality and data-protection practices, limiting excessive collection and storage of personal data and ensuring information is appropriately secured.

This reflects the importance Syntezia gives to data protection and confidentiality, which are identified as a highly material topic in the company's sustainability assessment.

Syntezia seeks to make its services accessible to as many people as possible.

Its responsible-digital approach uses the principles of Universal Design, including consideration for people with disabilities and people with limited digital skills.

Syntezia also places importance on the ethical use of algorithms and artificial intelligence.

Its stated approach is to seek systems that are fair, transparent and non-discriminatory, including attention to potential bias, regular review and mechanisms for addressing errors or unfair outcomes.

Responsible technology depends on people understanding its consequences.

Syntezia has created responsible digital awareness activities and training sessions covering subjects such as data security, privacy, information management, artificial intelligence and professional ethics.

Syntezia also takes responsibility through the choice of its suppliers and partners.

The company states that it can take responsible-digital criteria into account in tenders and contractual relationships and highlights its collaboration with Infomaniak, a Geneva-based provider recognised by Syntezia for its green-datacentre practices. The company also considers energy efficiency, repairability, lifespan and environmental criteria when selecting IT equipment.

Syntezia also promotes data minimisation and connects this principle with its participation in World Clean Up Day, using the opportunity to raise awareness of unnecessary digital data and its environmental impact.
