We
ECONOMIC
SUSTAINABILITY
consider digitalization and digital transformation to be key aspects for the
sustainable development of our company. The particular importance of these topics is
reflected in the results of our materiality analysis. Digitalization was the only economic
topic to be chosen as one of our material topics, and thus is the only economic topic
included in this sustainability report.
DIGITALIZATION
CHALLENGES OF THE DIGITAL AGE
Seamless collaboration across the globe is key
for sustainable business development at ILF.
Being able to facilitate such seamless
collaboration means overcoming the various
challenges that digitalization presents for us
as a global player in the consulting and
engineering sector. ILF continuously responds
to these challenges through the provision of
the following:
• A corporate infrastructure and IT services
that facilitate decentralized and remote
working from all our office locations
worldwide, in the field, on clients’ sites,
or from home
• Solutions that meet the increasing hardware
requirements for simulations, modeling,
visualization and data management in times
of stressed supply chains
• Adequate protection of ILF’s corporate IT
systems and information from cyber criminals
and data theft via tools and software, as well
as via adequate awareness from all ILF staff
in all operations
• Intuitive, easy-to-use and secure internal IT
services that bridge the gap between the
personal IT experience of employees/business
partners and the requirements of our business
operations (consumerization of IT)
• On-demand training related to the IT
proficiency of all staff members
• Fully integrated management systems for
planning, controlling and managing corporate
procedures and processes such as finance and
accounting, human resources management,
project management or document
management.
Reducing the ecological footprint of our IT
processes – from purchasing to the operation of
our IT infrastructure – is also a demanding
challenge for our business operation.
Furthermore, the Covid-19 pandemic has
influenced our mindset and the way we work,
increasing the demands for distributed and
seamless virtual workplaces as well as
accelerated digitalization of existing processes.
