More than a tech provider: we are your partner for building sustainable impact.
Digital technology, far from leading to “dematerialization,” is actually very material.
It relies on numerous physical resources that generate impacts on individuals and society, at three levels: the manufacturing of digital infrastructure, its use, and its end of life. The entire life cycle is therefore essential to consider when looking at the impacts of digital technology.
At a time when we talk about climate change and planetary boundaries, it is more necessary than ever to genuinely question our practices.
From a societal standpoint, we have reached a point where technology, as it is currently designed, undermines our freedom, our privacy and our rights.
⤷ Yet alternatives exist, such as eco-designed and ethical software.
Another digital path is possible.
Every line of code we write, through software and physical infrastructure, every electronic device created and used, every new IT infrastructure leaves a footprint on our planet and on individuals. Developing technological solutions without discernment is not the best approach.
Ultimately, we believe that a digital world, with the benefits it brings, serving society and respectful of the planet, is (still) possible.
So we decided to act.
We created Axoly Tech, your partner for eco-designed software development and software modernization.
How do we work toward these goals?
Few software development companies pay particular attention to the environmental and social impacts they generate. For us, it's an essential question. We can no longer continue down this digital path.
This is one of the reasons why we rely on ethical and eco-design principles and do not systematically push for complete overhauls.
“Legacy” systems already carry years of knowledge, effort and resources. Replacing them systematically is costly, risky and carries an environmental impact.
Modernizing what already exists reduces complexity and extends the lifespan of critical systems, while still making innovation possible.
Let's be clear: working with existing code doesn't mean resisting change. It means evolving systems more responsibly, more sustainably and in a way that's better aligned with today's constraints.
One thing is certain: the shift toward a more sustainable and ethical digital world won't happen overnight.
However, we actively collaborate with companies and non-profits that trust us and want to be part of this change.
At our level, we strive every day to embed these principles into our model. Our ambition is to inspire other organizations by contributing to greater awareness of the environmental and social implications of digital technology.

We keep you informed
We speak at conferences, panel discussions and trade shows to raise awareness of the impacts of digital technology and to exchange ideas with other professionals in the sector, as well as from other backgrounds. Interdisciplinarity is essential to us
We provide training, particularly on eco-design, Green IT and responsible, minimal digital technology. Sharing knowledge is essential to sustaining these practices within your organization and taking concrete action
We share content on our Articles page and on Ignacio's LinkedIn profile.
Looking ahead
We hope that more and more organizations, SMEs, non-profits and startups in need of custom software will become aware of the importance of eco-design, ethical design and the impacts of digital technology on our planet. This issue concerns all of us.
Let's never rest on our laurels: let's keep learning and moving toward something better.
