On the occasion of the 9th anniversary of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sustainability emerges as an essential aspect for organizations seeking to grow in an environment that promotes responsible practices beyond conventional methods, also investing in digital sustainability, which minimizes carbon emissions in many business processes.

Workplace virtualization plays a key role in this area by facilitating an efficient work model focused on reducing the ecological footprint. Moreover, sustainability becomes a competitive advantage for attracting and retaining talent, as advanced companies focus on the holistic well-being of individuals, addressing employee experience from a global perspective.

Marta Tomás, Director of Corporate Development at the UN Global Compact in Spain, emphasizes that digital workplace solutions serve as a “lever to promote sustainability both internally and externally.” Tomás also highlights the crucial role of digitalization in promoting equal opportunities by facilitating access to educational resources, improving data protection, and supporting innovation. She explains, “Digitalization is a powerful tool for companies to become more sustainable and resilient. Solutions like those developed by Virtual Cable help companies reduce their carbon footprint, improve energy efficiency, and advance toward their sustainability goals.”

In line with this vision of a more sustainable future, Virtual Cable is a participating partner in the UN Global Compact, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility principles.

The workplace virtualization technology offered by Virtual Cable provides an efficient and sustainable solution for centralizing IT management, allowing access to workstations from anywhere and any device, 24/7. By reducing the need for high-performance physical equipment and extending the lifespan of existing terminals, these solutions significantly lower energy consumption and hardware use, thereby decreasing the environmental impact associated with the manufacturing and disposal of electronic devices, promoting responsible use of technological resources. Additionally, by encouraging remote and flexible work, they also contribute to reducing commutes and, consequently, CO2 emissions.

 

Technology and the SDGs: Driving a Sustainable Future through Innovation

The Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by the UN in 2015, provide a global framework to eliminate poverty, protect the planet, and ensure the well-being of all people. These 17 goals, which include issues such as gender equality and climate action, are essential for guiding governments, businesses, and citizens toward more just and sustainable development. Virtual Cable aligns with these goals by integrating sustainability as a fundamental pillar in its operations and technology development.

In this way, the manufacturer of UDS Enterprise continues to establish itself as a leader in sustainable IT solutions, helping companies implement more efficient and environmentally friendly infrastructures while actively contributing to the SDGs, advancing toward a greener and more equitable future for all.
