Partnership between adesso and the German Sustainability Network
Sustainability has taken on a much larger role in the insurance industry. This is due in no small measure to the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) that requires companies that meet certain financial criteria to provide detailed sustainability reports. Active sustainability is a top priority of adesso, particularly when it comes to the insurance sector. We are working on making our services more sustainable and have partnered with the German Sustainability Network (GSN), for example, to provide our customers with even better support in the area of sustainability. I will explore the partnership and what it entails in this blog post.

This means that provisions must be made to ensure that waste is always disposed of and recycled or reused – which also includes the generation of energy through waste incineration – even in exceptional situations. This opens up new opportunities for us as an IT service provider to be part of projects and drive digitalisation forward.
