Certified as “Digital Responsible”

Mind and Go (and its subsidiary DataCup) have now been awarded the “Responsible Digital” certification.

We would especially like to thank Bastien DUCRUEZET, Brice DEL BUCCHIA (Groupe Isia) and Paloma Dwidar (Agence Lucie) for their support throughout the entire process, right up to the audit and the drafting of our commitments.

The entire team is delighted to be recognized for its responsible practices—some of which were implemented many years ago—that allow us to serve our customers while protecting our planet. Open source, equipment built to last, hosting in France, green electricity, the DataCup project… many of these choices were already part of our daily routine even before we began the certification process.

This is a major step forward for us, representing months of work with the involvement of the entire team. Our two project managers, Brigitte CLARAC and Emilie CHARY, began by completing the initial training provided by the ISIA Group to Digital 113. We were then able to formalize our practices—some of which had been in place for a long time—in accordance with the certification standards. Next came the audit, which awarded us a score of 492 out of 600, exceeding the minimum requirement of 300 points.

We are now entering the second phase of the certification process: improving ourselves and fulfilling our commitments over the next two years! Our goal is to make this certification a true tool for progress, in line with our values.

In fact, we've already gotten started and can't wait to share our future successes with you.

Very soon, we will publish a summary of our responsible digital approach, which outlines the key principles that guide our decisions; we will then incorporate this into our marketing materials to better communicate our responsible digital practices.

So if you, too, are interested in taking this step, here are a few tips to get you started:

1. Visit the website of the Agence Lucie > Label NR Niveau 1 and complete your assessment now. This will help you become familiar with the program's requirements.
2. Identify one or more people within your organization who could lead the certification process: suggest that they take the MOOC (online course) #2 Numérique Responsable (a complete 4.5-hour training course) and earn the certification. 

These two steps will already allow you to get started and assess your readiness.​

As such, the NR certification has allowed us not only to better formalize and highlight the practices that were already part of the DNA of our Mind and Go / DataCup group, but also to identify new areas for improvement. If your organization already incorporates responsible practices, we can only encourage you to continue in this direction.
