        <p>Worldwide there has been an increasing pressure on organizations to address sustainable development issues. Given the pervasive nature of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), managers are confronted with a quandary over how to make responsible strategic decisions and take into account the economic, environmental, and social efects of technologies. This PhD research investigates the impacts of strategic sustainable ICT decisions, falling under Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR) topic. The project aims at defining a mathematical model that can help organizations to anticipate the efects, both positive and negative of their CDR strategies to the environment and society. This research contributes to both theory and practice by advancing an emerging debate around the new concept of CDR, which aims to guide an organization's operations in order to foster an ethical and responsible development, deployment and usage of ICT.</p>

      <title>Motivation</title>
      <p>
        Digitalisation is associated with high hopes to achieve sustainable development goals [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1 ref2">1, 2</xref>
        ].
European Commission states that: “Digital technologies could play a key role in achieving
climate neutrality, reducing pollution, and restoring biodiversity” [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>
        ] and in the United Nations
Sustainable Development Goals, ICT1 is mentioned as being a key in advancing 4 goals [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
        ]. Yet,
along with the benefits of digital transformation come negative impacts to the environment
and society which can nullify or even outweigh the positive outcomes, such as contribution
to greenhouse gas emissions or data bias [
        <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5, 6</xref>
        ]. The research network ”Digitalisation for
Sustainability” (D4S) argues that current market forces in the digitalisation landscape rather
perpetuate over-consumption patterns. In order to change this, strategies have to be aligned

information and communication technologies.
1In this project ”ICT” is used interchangeably with terms “digital technology” and “IT” in order to refer to all digital
with a broad vision of leveraging digital technologies to promote sustainable living within our
planet’s boundaries for all individuals [7].
      </p>
      <p>It is in this context that organisations face new challenges in governing their digital activities
– how can they minimise the negative efects of ICT and of related digital activities and to maximise
the positive ones to the environment and society? The ICT research community has also been urged
to further incorporate and investigate the impact of digital technologies and their significance
in the decision-making of sustainable development strategies [8, 9, 10].</p>
      <p>Aiming to respond to these challenges, a new field of Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR)
emerged, seeking to guide organisations in their attempts to ensure an ethical and responsible
development, deployment, and use of digital technologies and data [11, 12].</p>
      <sec id="sec-1-1">
        <title>1.2. The Emergence of Corporate Digital Responsibility</title>
        <p>One of the first occurrences of the term Corporate Digital Responsibility can be traced back to
an Accenture report of 2015 [13]. Despite the early stages of the academic engagement with
this concept, it has been popularised in the corporate world [14, 15, 16, 17] and is perceived as
an increasingly important subject for all economic actors in the realization of their sustainable
development policies [6, 18].</p>
        <p>If ICT for Sustainability (ICT4S), based on Hilty and Aebischer [19] definition, can be
considered as a sustainable development equivalence applied to the digital realm, CDR can be
compared to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)[18, 11, 20]. Within the field of CSR there are
diferent guidelines and methods enabling organizations to develop their CSR strategies [ 21].
However, in the field of CDR such guidelines, frameworks or standards do not exist yet. Lack
of methodologies supporting sustainable decision making when it comes to the development,
usage and deployment of ICT by organizations hurdles the adoption of ICT4S principles within
organisations.</p>
        <p>The main ambition of this project is, thus, to advance the construction of decision-making
methods which would integrate the socio-environmental efects of ICT. In this vein, this project
aims to contribute to a larger question of how organizations can use CDR as a migration path to
become better aligned with their sustainable development strategy. With this in mind, it pursues
two main objectives as described in the next section.</p>
      </sec>
    </sec>
    <sec id="sec-2">
      <title>2. Objectives of the Project</title>
      <p>The first objective of this project is to contribute in addressing the question which was raised by
Lobschat et al. [18, p. 12]: “How should we capture and assess an organization’s CDR readiness
and degree of CDR implementation?”. Building on existing work around CDR, as well as other
related scientific fields, such as Green Information Systems (IS), this work seeks to propose a
framework to delineate the scope of CDR and to conceptualize strategic CDR decisions - ICT
decisions considered to be responsible and in line with sustainable development principles. In
this vein, this project aims to contribute to debates about CDR relation to CSR and about the
perimeter of CDR.</p>
      <p>Secondly, through mathematical modelling, I seek to contribute to the construction of
methods enabling organizations to make better informed decisions when building their CDR
strategies. I pursue to establish methods which allow to assess a link between CDR decisions and
socio-environmental impacts. The existing scientific literature examines ICT impacts on the
environment or society, and proposes theoretical implications of adopting Green IS practices.
However, to my best knowledge, to date no study attempted to model the socio-environmental
impacts resulting from CDR decisions. Yet, successful adoption of CDR hinges on an
organizations’ ability to identify strategic decisions that will help them to generate the greatest positive
socio-environmental impact in a context-specific scenario.</p>

      <title>3. Background and Related Work</title>
      <sec id="sec-3-1">
        <title>3.1. Theoretical foundations of CDR</title>
        <p>Questions surrounding digital responsibilities and risks are not unique to the CDR community
other research communities have been grappling with them for decades. Mueller [12] posits that
the conceptual roots of CDR lie within business ethics, CSR and computer ethics. A further shift
in recognition that organizations have a responsibility to mitigate the negative impacts of digital
products and services they make, design, use, and deploy extends to ICT4S and related research
communities. Green IS community, for example, has proposed various frameworks and best
practices to guide organisations in their strategies to mitigate the negative environmental impact
of digital products and services [22, 23, 24, 25]. Discussions of digital risks and opportunities
and the role that companies should play in aligning them with sustainability strategies are
also found in other more specialized research communities, such as sustainable and ethical AI
[26, 27, 28] or sustainable human-computer interaction (SHCI) [29].</p>
        <p>Corporate Digital Responsibility hence finds itself at the intersection of research on business
ethics, sustainable development and impacts of ICT.</p>
      </sec>
      <sec id="sec-3-2">
        <title>3.2. Limitations of the current academic debate</title>
        <p>
          Reflecting the fact that CDR research is still in its infancy, the current literature around CDR
mostly discusses the fundamental concepts and factors enabling CDR implementation, such as
motivations, barriers, readiness and awareness of CDR within organisations (Table 1). Scholars
discuss the reasons why organisations need to address diferent digital risks [ 18, 30], however a
limited literature attempted to structure and identify what those risks are. Herden et al. [6]
provided the first attempt to classify the digital risks for organisations based on ESG framework,
which is primarily a risk management and investment tool, that seeks to assess the financial
risks that environmental, social, and governance factors pose to the value of a company. Dörr
[
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>
          ] has undertaken a similar exercise and identified 15 “undesirable side efects of digitalisation”
and introduced their corresponding responsibility ”clusters” of CDR. Other scholars have
covered a consumer-only oriented issues [31, 11] or mentioned a number of topics of what
CDR should cover without going into further details [32, 33, 34]. This work thus remains to
be consolidated in order to establish common reference points to advance the theoretical and
practical debate in how CDR can help to address the new digital challenges in the context of
sustainable development.
        </p>
        <p>Yet fewer studies attempted to propose concrete practices and guidelines for CDR adoption,
and to address the question of how to put CDR in practice. Some studies highlighted the
way CDR could be implemented in a particular digital technology scenario, such as AI [32]
or data management [35]. Other scholars suggested theoretical conceptualisation regarding
CDR implementation [6, 18, 30], however there is a lack of empirical studies and methodologies
which would accompany decision making process and governance with respect to CDR [36].
The development of such guidelines or frameworks for CDR is constrained by the lack of a
common understanding of the scope of CDR.</p>
      </sec>
      <sec id="sec-3-3">
        <title>3.3. Impacts of CDR practices</title>
        <p>
          An extensive literature attempted to propose frameworks to analyze diferent types of impacts
of ICT [48, 49, 19, 50, 51] and methodologies to measure them [
          <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5, 52, 53, 54</xref>
          ]. To date, however,
a limited literature attempted to propose methods to analyse the impacts to society and to
environment resulting from CDR practices within organisations. Green IS community have
proposed diferent maturity frameworks which allow to demonstrate ICT contribution in
supporting a company’s environmental sustainability strategy [25, 55]. However, to my best
knowledge no attempt has been done in trying to model the potential socio-environmental
impacts of CDR strategies.

      <title>4. Research Methods</title>
      <sec id="sec-4-1">
        <title>4.1. Objective 1: Creation of a conceptual framework to assess an organization’s degree of CDR implementation</title>
        <p>In 2010, Harmon et al. argued that the sustainability of digital technologies should be driven by
CSR [56]. Most of the current literature reasons that, even if CDR merits a separate attention due
to the pervasiveness of technologies and their unique nature [18, 20], CDR could benefit from
existing CSR tools and knowledge [31]. In this vein, I propose to use a CSR tool and relevant
literature review to establish the scope of CDR. The developed method will be tested within the
industry and feedback will be gathered from practitioners in the field in order to improve it and
test its pertinence. However, if such a model may allow for organizations to assess their degree
of CDR implementation, it is only the first step in constructing a methodology which would
empower organizations to design an impactful CDR, according to their strategy and positioning.</p>
      </sec>
      <sec id="sec-4-2">
        <title>4.2. Objective 2: Development of a mathematical model to anticipate socio-environmental impacts of CDR practices</title>
        <p>Therefore, the second objective of this research is to develop a mathematical model that can
help anticipate the efects, both positive and negative, resulting from CDR strategies to the
environment and society.</p>
        <p>Considering the early stage of my research, I have not settled yet regarding the methodology
to be used in order to define links between CDR practices and impacts. Building a model from
reality is always an abstraction which, in the case of this project, will be afected by the complex
nature of both ICT and sustainable development as well as by the existing uncertainty due to
my imperfect knowledge of the world. To address such problems, a few studies have employed
multiple attribute decision making (MADM) methods to estimate the overall efects of ICT on
sustainability and to facilitate decision-making process for organizations and policy makers
[57, 58]. A combination of MADM with other statistical techniques, such as sensitivity analysis,
could allow to deal with incomplete and uncertain information [59]. This literature review
remains to be extended in order to identify the right approach for modelling the impacts of CDR
strategic decisions which in turn would help to make better informed decisions for organizations
within their sustainable development strategies.</p>

      <title>5. Dissertation Status</title>
      <p>Being in my first year of PhD, I am still at the stage of exploring the potential methods to
achieve the goals of the project. After having performed the literature review regarding the
CDR and related research fields I was able to identify gaps in the existing literature and position
my research with respect to the larger ICT4S landscape. Following the literature review and
discussions with other researchers in my company, I have chosen a CSR tool - European
Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS)[60], in order to propose a structure for the scope
of CDR. Based on a diverse literature analysis, I identified digital sustainability matters that
concern impacts to people or the environment, resulting from an entity’s digital activities. The
results have been submitted to two conferences in order to discuss them with a larger academic
community.</p>
      <p>Establishing dimensions of CDR and structuring the perimeter of CDR was a necessary step to
advance in my research. The next stage is to identify methods which could serve in developing
a methodology allowing to establish links between CDR practices and the aforementioned CDR
dimensions. For this purpose and due to the interdisciplinarity of my research I am currently
exploring literature from diferent academic fields, such as Green IS, econometrics, machine
learning, CSR and management studies.</p>
    </sec>
    <sec id="sec-6">
      <title>6. Advice sought</title>
      <p>While feedback on the overall structure of my project would help me to grow as a researcher
and would support me in producing quality research, I would be especially curious to benefit
from expert advice regarding my second objective: development of a methodology to model
socio-environmental impacts of CDR practices. Due to the novelty of CDR, there is a lack
of historical observations and data which could be used to quantify the impacts using the
traditional statistical methods. I believe that the interdisciplinary nature of ICT4S conference
could help me to identify ways how to overcome this barrier in my research.</p>
      <p>I am grateful to benefit from the knowledge of La Rochelle University where I am performing
my Informatics and Applications PhD in the L3i laboratory. My project proposal has also been
accepted under the French CIFRE scheme which means that I am working with an industry.
Being employed by Square Management consulting company, I can benefit from access to the
ifeld and the resources of their Research &amp; Development department. However, since the nature
of my subject is not a purely computer science subject and it has overlaps with other academic
ifelds such as management studies, sometimes I feel challenged to navigate between multiple
disciplines. An advice and feedback from ICT4S community on this question would be very
appreciated.
