All businesses should aim for sustainability and digital autonomy


  1. By relying on the Seven Principles of Leave No Trace and the 3 Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle)

  2. By prioritizing the adoption of free software and responsible ethical practices.

Why depend on foreign multinationals when we have the capacity to develop local and sovereign expertise?

Here’s how we propose to reduce the impact of planned obsolescence and digital oppression:



  • Implement the Seve Principles of Leave No Trace:
    The Seven Principles of Leave No Trace are guidelines to minimize environmental impact when practicing outdoor activities.
    However, these principles can also be applied to business practices to reduce the company’s ecological footprint and move toward sustainability.

    In Canada, the organization Sans Trace Canada (and elsewhere in the world, Leave No Trace) can support you in adopting the Seven Principles of Leave No Trace in your business, on-site or via videoconference, through its network of certified trainers and partners.


  • Reduce, reuse, and recycle:
    The 3 Rs are waste management strategies that can help a small business reduce its ecological footprint, achieve sustainability, and avoid planned obsolescence.


    • First, consumption of resources can be reduced by using more durable products, reducing packaging, and choosing environmentally friendly suppliers.

    • Next, your business can reuse products and materials as much as possible, giving objects a second life instead of throwing them away.

We can reduce our environmental impact, lower our costs, while preparing for a more sustainable and safer future. Why not?
