Eco Smart Solutions


Description

Telefonica promotes the development of digital solutions to help our customers in their transition to more sustainable business models and we promote the twin digital and green transitions.

To promote this transition we have created the ECO SMART seal to enable customers to identify the potential environmental benefits generated by our products and services following implementation.

ECO SMART is a green credential to certify services based on connectivity, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud, big data, Artificial Intelligence or 5G that, not only generate operational and cost-saving benefits, but environmental ones as well.

Specifically, these services reduce the consumption of energy, water, CO₂ emissions and promote the circular economy. They are being used by both cities and companies of various sizes in the key sectors, including tourism, industry, logistics and distribution, retail and banking.

The ECO SMART seal is available in Brazil, Germany, Chile & Spain allowing customers to incorporate sustainability criteria into their purchasing decisions so that they can contribute to the transition towards a more sustainable society. The environmental benefits that are generated by our services and represented in the label have been externally verified, by AENOR, an independent and external certification organization. To date, 54% of the solutions we offer have been verified as Eco Smart by AENOR.
