The Future of IT — The Next Chapter in Sustainable Transformation

The industry faces some of the greatest sustainability challenges of our time:
Exploding energy consumption. Complex global supply chains. Hidden working conditions. Limited measurable impact.

But data, AI, digital collaboration and circularity hold the key to change and the power to track, measure, and transform the industry.

When more than 600 Nordic companies rank their IT suppliers on sustainability, transparency becomes non-negotiable. Together, we can turn Nordic sustainability leadership into global impact — revealing which actions truly drive transformation, and which only create paperwork.

At ASF 2026, we will unveil a new chapter in sustainable IT — built on circular principles, measurable impact, and collaboration across the value chain.

Be part of the moment that defines what’s next.
