We are very happy to announce that Open Risk has joined the Digital4Sustainability Alliance Community, a European initiative dedicated to advancing the digital and sustainability skills required to accelerate the twin transition.
Digital4Sustainability (D4S) is a project funded under the EU’s Erasmus+ programme. The project is dedicated to accelerating the digital and green transitions (the so-called twin transition), both within the ICT sector and across European industries. The consortium includes digital and sustainability experts, business associations, universities, and Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers from across Europe.
You can read more about the project and why we joined a the usual place.
The D4S mission goes to the heart of the sustainability transition challenges: Digital tech is essential infrastructure to help manage the information complexity of modern economies, and the sustainability transition is nothing if not complex, as it touches practically every aspect of modern society: energy systems, manufacturing, transport, land use and food systems, to name but a few. At the same time, from e-waste to the gigantic data center environmental and social impacts, the digitization of the economy has significant sustainability implications.
At Open Risk, we recognised early on that digitalisation and sustainability are deeply interconnected and we are fundamentally aligned with the objectives of the Digital4Sustainability initiative. For a long time we have been probing the possibilities of accelerated, digitally enabled learning and tools, with a particular focus in the domains of risk management and sustainable finance.
Our participation in the Alliance Community reflects our commitment to empowering Europe’s workforce, fostering innovation, and contributing to a more competitive, inclusive, and sustainable continent.
We pledge to actively support the objectives of the Digital4Sustainability Alliance Community by sharing knowledge, contributing to best practice exchange, and promoting lifelong learning opportunities that address the skills needed for Europe’s twin transition.
Our participation will strengthen collaboration with peers across Europe, streamline, enhance and align our training programmes, and contribute to the collective effort of building a resilient, green, and digitally skilled workforce.
