AGIT France

What AGIT France does

AGIT France (Alliance Green IT), founded in 2011 and headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, is a French non-profit professional association organized under the Association loi 1901 framework. Its stated mission is to define and disseminate ecologically and socially responsible practices within digital professions, functioning as the leading French professional group for Green IT and responsible digital practices. The association operates through membership-based working groups, an annual flagship conference ('We DO Green IT'), and an extensive content production pipeline that includes the annual Baromètre Green IT (an 8-theme, 23-indicator maturity survey of French companies running since 2015), white papers on data centers, eco-design, and digital sobriety, and an international cartography mapping 228 responsible digital associations worldwide.

Its core intellectual property comprises the ROI-MPACT Sobriété Numérique methodology (a multi-capitals ROI framework co-developed with ADEME and co-led by Inria and CNRS within the ALT-Impact program), the QuestioNR self-assessment tool built jointly with the Institut du Numérique Responsable (INR), and a first-of-its-kind environmental footprint calculator for enterprise LAN networks and telephony. These are knowledge artifacts, not software products. Distribution occurs through freely accessible publications on the association's website, working group participation, public events, and partnerships with trade shows such as Data Centre World Paris, GreenTech Forum, and Produrable.

AGIT's business model relies on annual membership subscriptions from organizational and individual members, with fee tiers voted annually at the General Assembly. Members include federations (CINOV, Numeum, Syntec Numérique), data center operators (APL Data Center, Cap DC), IT services firms (CGI France), eco-organizations (Ecologic), and academic institutions. The association operates with a lean team of approximately 7 employees and is governed by a Bureau led by founding President Tristan Labaume, with Caroline Vateau as Secretary General and Romuald Ribault as Vice President. It maintains a cross-Atlantic partnership with AGIT Québec for international knowledge-sharing and participates in regulatory standard-setting through AFNOR Spec on digital inclusion.

Core offering

AGIT France is a non-profit professional association that defines and disseminates ecologically and socially responsible practices within the digital sector. It delivers this through a membership-based community, working groups producing authoritative publications, an annual maturity barometer, self-assessment tools, a multi-capitals ROI methodology for digital sobriety, and a flagship annual conference ('We DO Green IT').

Product overview

AGIT France operates as a professional association rather than a commercial product company. The organization offers a suite of knowledge products, assessment tools, and methodologies focused on responsible digital practices. Key offerings include the Baromètre Green IT (an annual maturity survey since 2015), the ROI-MPACT Sobriété Numérique methodology for measuring digital sobriety ROI, the QuestioNR self-assessment tool for evaluating organizational maturity, and a collection of white papers and publications covering eco-design, data centers, and digital inclusion. These products are distributed through publications, events (such as the annual 'We DO Green IT' conference), and working groups rather than as a commercial software platform.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Numeum (formerly Syntec Numérique): Largest French federation of digital services, software, and technology consulting companies. Numeum is a founding member federation of AGIT and runs the Planet Tech'Care initiative in which AGIT is a contributing partner — broadly comparable as a convening body but with much larger scope (entire French digital industry, not just Green IT).

Direct peers

• Fing (Fondation Internet Nouvelle Génération): French foundation exploring digital futures, inclusion, and sustainability. Fing convened the RESET multi-stakeholder program in which AGIT participates, and co-organized the 2019 RESET conference — comparable as a French non-profit producing forward-looking research on responsible digital transformation.
• The Shift Project: French think tank delivering influential reports on digital sobriety and energy transition (e.g., the seminal 'Lean ICT' report). The Shift Project is a confirmed AGIT partner on the Datacenter white paper and speaks at AGIT events, addressing the same enterprise audience on Green IT topics from an academic/policy angle.
• Cigref: Association of large French enterprise CIOs and digital infrastructure leaders. Cigref co-organized the 'Sobriété numérique' conference where AGIT presented, and its membership overlaps significantly with AGIT's enterprise members — comparable as a peer association convening French enterprise leaders around responsible digital topics.
• AGIT Québec: Sister professional association based in Canada with the same founding mission of eco-responsible digital practices. AGIT Québec operates a mutual partnership with AGIT France for cross-Atlantic knowledge sharing, joint publications, and the global cartography — the closest international peer in both mission and structure.
• Institut du Numérique Responsable (INR): French non-profit dedicated to responsible digital practices. INR co-developed the QuestioNR self-assessment tool with AGIT and harmonizes survey questions between its WeNR study and AGIT's Barometer — making it the most directly comparable organization, with significant mission and methodology overlap.

Emerging players

• The Green Web Foundation: International non-profit promoting a fossil-free internet through the Green Web Directory and developer tooling. The Green Web Foundation was featured in AGIT's member interview series and addresses adjacent themes (green hosting, sustainable digital infrastructure) but with a more developer/hosting-provider focus than AGIT's enterprise convening model.
• Planet Tech'Care: Initiative under Numeum's Numérique Responsable program offering free responsible digital workshops to signatory companies. Planet Tech'Care is a sibling program where AGIT presents its Barometer results and is a contributing partner — comparable as a program shaping Green IT maturity in French enterprises but operating as a project rather than an association.

Regional players

• Green Software Foundation: International consortium under the Linux Foundation building standards, tooling, and specifications for sustainable software development. The Green Software Foundation addresses overlapping themes (software carbon intensity, green coding practices) but operates globally with a software-engineering focus rather than France-specific association convening.

Others

• Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact: European industry self-regulation pact in which major data center operators commit to climate-neutral operations by 2030. Comparable as a coordinating body addressing data center environmental impact — a specific subset of AGIT's Datacenter white paper agenda — but focused on operator commitments rather than community consensus-building.
