Digital Sustainability

The Digital Sustainability practice provides strategic consulting and legal support to businesses, public authorities, and organizations committed to fostering a responsible, equitable, and value-driven technological development. Our approach integrates technological innovation, the protection of fundamental rights, and regulatory compliance—with a particular focus on artificial intelligence and its implications for sustainability.

A key focus within digital sustainability is the relationship between data centers and artificial intelligence—two pillars of digital transformation that raise significant challenges in terms of environmental impact, governance, and legal compliance. This area offers strategic solutions for companies and institutions aiming to balance technological innovation with environmental responsibility.
