Students for analysis on sustainability in the IT industry

Do you want to contribute to a more sustainable IT industry? Now, here’s your chance! Our partner Atea wants your help to investigate sustainability in the IT industry.

About Atea

Atea is the market leader in IT infrastructure for businesses and public-sector organizations in Europe’s Nordic and Baltic regions. With more than 8,000 employees located in 88 offices across seven countries —Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia — Atea combines a unique breadth of competence in IT infrastructure with a powerful local presence in each market that they serve.

About the project


Every year, the initiative Atea Sustainability Focus (ASF) issues a report on which sustainability aspect is most urgent for the global IT industry to address according to the Nordic IT buyers, along with recommendations on how to address it. So far, the initiative has issued seven reports, covering the major sustainability impact areas of the industry – transparency, circular economy, climate – as well as important mechanism like collaboration, accountability, and large-scale action.

What you will do

Through desk research and interviews you will produce an analysis that will be included in the report and used by the initiative’s Advisory Board to provide recommendations to the IT industry. The analysis will identify gaps between the expectations from the Nordic market (based on stakeholder dialogues) and the sustainability performance of the industry.
As there will be two students doing the analysis, you can divide the work tasks between yourselves based on competence and interest. You will plan your work together with our partner’s Project Manager Sustainability, and work closely together with the other student.
