In the 2020 COVID pandemic, most enterprises have realized the importance of creating an effective digital presence. While some businesses used digital presence to promote their services and business continuity, other companies used the latest trends to stay ahead among competitors. One of the most popular and widely used platforms is Node.JS, which is widely used for the development process.
What is Node.JS?
2020 has been one of the most memorable years in our history. Few of us have been alive long enough to experience a more turbulent time. But throughout the year, we saw design respond to challenging events with positivity, color, and a desire to elevate those people and projects working to make the world better.
As we head into 2021, there’s no denying that 2020 has changed our outlook on life and marked a major turning point in web design trends.
Here’s a collection of the websites we loved the most this year. Enjoy!
On Looks Like You Need Iceland, you are invited to record a scream, which will then be broadcast into the Icelandic wilderness. It’s meant as a form of therapy. The idea is that you will one day visit Iceland in person. That might still be some way off for most of us, but we could certainly use a good therapeutic scream.
Across 2020 there were major protests around the world in support of Black Lives Matter. The movement’s website is a central hub for news, resources, and civil rights information in 38 countries.
2ºC Earth takes the user to 5 locations worldwide and shows what will happen there if global temperatures rise by 2ºc. Sound is used really well here to create an immersive experience, along with some beautiful photography.
Along with some new features announced earlier this month, GitHub has a glossy new homepage. It has a clean feel, with some nice scrolling animation and sparing but effective use of illustration.
Political and social initiatives were big in 2020, and non-profit activism initiative I Weigh Community is the brainchild of actress Jameela Jamil. It’s devoted to radical inclusivity, communicated with bold, expressive graphics.
Back in January, we clicked around UNREAL’s site for hours, enjoying the sharp transitions. The Swiss agency produced a wonderfully chaotic love letter to web animation.
Delassus grows fruit, from citrus to avocados. The Moroccan company employs a cornucopia of 3D design to make its site bold, fun, and practical.
We loved everything about Lynn Fisher’s site back in May. The homepage illustration was awesome. It was a humorous approach to RWD that we really appreciated. The site has since changed, with tons more to explore.
The Minervo site feels distinctly Latin, with the hot pinks and sun-blasted desaturation feeling suitably South American. We love the cropping on the custom typeface.
Norwegians have an almost mystical connection with the sea, which is evident in the site for Babord, a Norwegian seafood supplier. We loved the brand font too.
Calexo makes THC-infused beverages, and back in April, we loved the color and positivity of the site. The animated hamburger menu was a hit too.
Moooi’s site layers illustration with a maximal effect that makes you feel like you’re chasing a white rabbit. There are tons of great UI details here, especially the bar that reveals the product videos.
The Blind Barber celebrates 10 years of success with this microsite. A deconstructed grid and an entirely black and white design, but with color photos, create energy and a sense of joy.
Zand Harirchi is an architecture firm based in Tehran, Iran. Its site features subtle references to architecture, like the delightful thumbnails reminiscent of small windows.
The WFN (Women’s Funding Network) is an international alliance supporting women’s foundations and gender justice funders. The sophisticated color palette and clean type are both confident and feminine.
We loved exploring Nathan Taylor’s playful site all the way back in January. The different lighting modes were a firm favorite.
A tribute to the life and work of Käthe Kollwitz, an Expressionist printmaker. There’s a catalog of her work, presented alongside large type and splashy color transitions.
Emotive Feels is a design manifesto from the Emotive Brand agency that illustrates an A–Z of potential brand emotions with simple animations that we likened to a Blue Note release.
A.N Other’s site for perfume highlights quality ingredients, materials, simplicity, craftsmanship, and the environment; in the process, it cleverly invokes a sense of luxury.
Danish type foundry Playtype’s site fits its name perfectly. The playful site with bright blocks of color and the occasional animation shows off some pretty nice typefaces.
All-text sites are always a thrill, and back in June, we were treated to this simple one-pager by Feijoo. Details like the numerals being replaced by words are delightful.
Although this site’s subject matter is harrowing, it is presented in a very beautiful, thoughtful manner.
Sophisticated typography, the wave textures, the nostalgic feel of the photography, and even the cookie notice’s on-brand styling all show attention to detail, which gives this site its appeal.
Find and ‘photograph’ the endangered species to learn about them in this delightfully illustrated game.
When Curbed came under the umbrella of New York magazine earlier this year, it got a makeover. Neon highlights and a distorted grid give an edge to the classic magazine layout.
The carousel of fonio (it’s a West African grain) products on Yolélé’s landing page is a good example of horizontal scrolling that works well. There are some great page transitions too.
Pantheone Audio’s site employs elegant scrolling to enable seamless navigation of an extremely luxurious site, underpinned by a complex grid.
Bright color, an irregular grid, illustrations, and a display type that feels almost hand-drawn perfectly captures the aesthetic of this NY-based home furnishing brand.
This site for private membership leisure club Highcourt uses subtle background color changes and simple line illustrations to create a sense of calm. Black and white are softened to dark blue and ivory, and gentle animation adds interest.
Kate Jackling’s site takes a step back and allows the content to bask in the glow of attention, placing her photography at center stage.
While there is less hustle and bustle outside than we were used to pre-pandemic, we could certainly all use some calm. Treaty’s site for CBD oils reflects that calm with a combination of video, whitespace, and botanical drawings.
Ukrainian Railroad Ladies is a book of photographs of women, and some men, who work on the Ukrainian railways. The site is basic, even brutalist, but it has charm, and the photographer’s fascination with his subject comes through.
Year & Day is an ecommerce site that sells tableware, from glassware to ceramics. The colorful collection is designed to complement different types of food, and the site’s color scheme reflects that perfectly.
Juan Mora’s ‘under construction’ holding page has probably been crafted with more care than many full-blown sites. This showcase cleverly manages to demonstrate its subject’s skills without showing a single piece of work.
Lucciano’s homepage hero video alone will have your mouth watering for some of their gelato. Much of the appeal of food is visual, and the photography here does not disappoint. Circular text boxes in ice cream colors complement the product shots nicely.
Back in April, we were already a little weary of lockdown — if only we’d known how long it would last! The amazing color blobbing of bored.solutions was the ideal distraction.
Grand Matter is an artist agency representing illustrators. There is a wealth of talent on show here and a broad enough range of styles to keep the web interesting for a good while.
This site for Dunderville motion design studio features a paper fold detail, which adds tactility to the virtual. Some superb type and vector animations showcase an impressive portfolio.
Album Colors has taken the covers from 150 albums released this year and arranged them by dominant color. The hex code for each color is provided if you want to copy it.
Mammut uses stunning photography and a strong narrative to present its Eiger Extreme outdoor clothing. Longing for the great outdoors will either be alleviated or exacerbated by this one.
808303.studio is a virtual Roland TR-808 drum machine and TB 303 bass synthesizer. You can program, record, and share your very own 80s techno masterpiece.
Humor can be hard to get right, especially when you want to be taken seriously at the same time. Here, it works, and the result is a memorable site, oozing with confidence.
Type your message into Jazz Keys, and you’ll hear it in sound. You can send the message to anyone and let them hear your words — the web lives for side-projects like this.
The fabulous, simple site for Sao Paulo-based Érika Moreira has some awesome big type and creative case studies. It’s an excellent example of a non-visual portfolio.
Earlier this year, the site for leading paper supplier G.F Smith got a redesign. It is a simpler design than the previous site and keeps the visual focus on the products and the colors.
Abbotsford Convent is a creative arts venue in Melbourne, Australia, based in a former convent. The UI for its site blends architectural forms to acknowledge the building’s heritage.
Waka Waka designs and builds wooden furniture. The mid-century typography and the noise textures transport the site to the last century’s radical graphic design. There’s some clever disruption to the typical thumbnail approach.
Sites advertising apps always seem to want to box the design into a hastily de-branded mock-up. Cone takes a daringly refreshing approach by depicting a more expansive mobile experience.
Amsterdam’s Ride Out bike store teases the content with an intriguingly masked video. Plus, we love the wheel-inspired spinning links.
This site is a model of minimalism. Beautiful photographs and very little text, there is nothing to distract from the product on display.

Looking for the best new CMS plugins to take your website to the next level? Well look no further.
In this post, we’ll cover a list of the best new CMS plugins for December 2020. This article will include useful plugins for WordPress, Shopify, Craft, and Joomla. Let’s get started…
OptiPic is a simple WordPress plugin that allows users to easily optimize and compress images.
The plugin also returns the WebP versions of images if the web browser supports it; if the web browser does not support WebP images, OptiPic will return a compressed version of the image. It also returns responsive images on mobile screens when the website is opened on a smaller device.
The image compression and WebP conversions occur in the background, so images load fast. The plugin takes advantage of caching to speed up load times.
Haglit is an AI-powered sales chatbot plugin for WooCommerce stores. The plugin allows customers to negotiate the price of products on your online store.
Haglit enables customers to haggle with a chatbot to get a personalized discount directly on the product page. In physical brick and mortar stores, conversation and haggling help to increase conversion rates and sales. Haglit allows you to bring that same interaction to your WooCommerce store. Customers can negotiate discounts and sellers can increase sales using Haglit’s discount algorithm.
The plugin is very easy to set up. All you need to do is sync Haglit to your WooCommerce store and set the maximum discount that will be allowed for a particular product. After publishing your settings, Haglit will take care of turning visitors into customers.
Brosix Live Chat plugin allows you to easily add live chat support to your WordPress site. It provides instant communication with your site’s visitors.
The plugin is easy to set up and use. All messages between customers and customer agents are encrypted. There is also a dedicated chat room on Brosix for your agents. Brosix has a mobile application for phones/tablets, a web application that works on all web browsers, and desktop applications for computers. The plugin comes in three availability options for agents and several color icon options.
Brosix offers two plans; a free plan that allows only one agent and a premium plan with more collaboration and administrative features.
Rankchecker.io is a free tool from Google that allows you to monitor your website’s ranking on search engines. The plugin allows you to check search engine rankings for multiple keywords on Google’s SERPs. Rankchecker.io can check keyword rankings for any country or language.
Bitcoin Widgets is a payment gateway plugin for WordPress users. It allows your customers to pay for goods using bitcoin.
You can receive the bitcoin payments directly to your crypto-wallet. Customers can also pay for goods with a bank card. These are the currencies that are supported: USD, RUR, EUR, UAH, INR. KRW, TRY, GBP, BRL, AUD, HKD, and TWD.
To collect bitcoin payments, just add your wallet address for payout. The payment transfers usually happen within 30 – 60 minutes depending on the network. There is also no processing fee.

Using the plugin is straight forward. Just install and activate the plugin to remove emoji CSS and JS from your website.
GuardGiant is a security plugin that stops hackers from logging into a WordPress website. The plugin uses a modern approach to make sure that genuine users are not locked away from their website. When a genuine user successfully logs into a device for the first time, the plugin treats the device as trusted. So if a user has failed login attempts on a trusted device, they are directed to ‘Lost Password’ forms instead of being completely locked out of their account.
Users will receive alerts when someone logs into their account from an unrecognized browser or device. Some of its features include brute force protection and detailed logging of all login attempts. The plugin also obscures login errors so that hackers cannot detect valid account names.
The plugin is easy to use and the default settings are already optimized to keep hackers away.
Schema Integration is a lightweight plugin that makes it easy to add schema markup to WordPress websites.
The plugin will automatically add the structured schema.org data markup in the recommended JSON-LD format to your website in seconds. The plugin supports multiple schema.org types. You can add the schema types anywhere on your site. All the schema types in the plugin are valid when tested on Google Structured Data Testing Tool.
Setting up schema using the plugin is easy. All you need to do is select the schema type you want and fill in the desired fields. The plugin will take care of the rest.
Promo Video Maker is an effective WordPress plugin for creating professionally designed videos for your business. The plugin allows you to turn static images into videos.
Some of the features in the plugin include free video templates, licensed audio tracks, and a free library with over 1.4M assets. The plugin comes with an easy to use editor. It easily integrates with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. You can also manually embed the videos on any web page.

The pro version integrates with WooCommerce and has an instant search bar.
QuizToAction is a simple Shopify plugin that allows you to catch the attention of your store visitors using interactive quizzes. At the end of each quiz, you can add a call to action. Currently, the plugin only allows email subscriptions as the call to action.

The plugin comes with a widget so that you can display the UGC on your store. You can review the photos before they are uploaded. During the uploading process, the customer is asked if their photo can be shared on social media. If their answer is “Yes”, you can share the photo on social media through a shareable icon on the platform.
Checkify is a simple Shopify plugin that makes it easy to add a terms and conditions checkbox to your cart page. You can also add age verification and any customer agreements required by your store. No code is required to install the plugin. It uses a one-click install and will appear immediately after installation.

Hop Reveal plugin gives Craft site editors a quick visual cue on which server-side they are working on, development, staging, or production. You can choose what to name or color the labels. The plugin also allows you to view key environment variables that will be useful during development.
Donkeytail is a field type in Craft that allows you to quickly and easily content manage points on images.
Donkeytail is compatible with GraphQL. It also works with all content types including entries, categories, assets, users, variants, and products. You can use Donkeytail to showcase multiple products within an image.

Mx contact is a responsive Joomla module that allows you to add a custom contact form to any page on your website. The extension is great for collecting customer feedback and contact details. The contact form can either appear on a wall or as a popup.

What an extraordinary year 2020 has been for the news! From the ongoing coronavirus crisis, to a turbulent US election, to the unrelenting march of Bitcoin, this year like no other we’ve been glued to our phones micro-analyzing every tidbit of news.
Which makes this the perfect time for mediastack, an awesome REST API that allows you to embed a customizable news feed, sourced from the world’s top news agencies, and updated by the minute, right on your site.
News is the beating pulse of so many global industries. From political decisions that affect stock prices, to natural disasters that interrupt goods and services, to the whims of celebrities who overnight transform brands from unknown to must-have.
Whether you’re building a site for a non-profit in Louisiana that cares deeply about both Washington politics, and hurricanes in the Caribbean; or you’re building an app for a golf course in Halkidiki that’s focused on both local news, and golf around the world; delivering real-time news content to those users elevates UX.
Tightly integrating the news with your site makes it a hub for users hungry for that very news. The only limit is your creativity.
When news breaks around the world the top networks scramble to catch up; they simply can’t maintain correspondents in every town and city in the world, and so they rely on affiliates. mediastack pulls in news from over 7,500 different sources in over 50 countries worldwide, giving you access to exactly the same affiliates frequently used by big news organizations like CNN, MSNBC, BBC, or ABC.
When it’s one of the big players in news that breaks a story first, mediastack still has you covered because as will as covering smaller, lesser-known sources mediastack delivers real-time news from CBS, Sky News, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, USA Today, and a host of trusted names across the industry.
If your site targets users that are only interested in certain types of story — like sports, or Hollywood celebrities — then you can even pull in stories from ESPN, TMZ, or Fox News.
Getting started with mediastack couldn’t be simpler, and there’s a free plan that’s more than enough to prototype your project.
Full documentation is provided with code examples for PHP, Python, jQuery, Go, and Ruby. To start integrating all you need to do is register for a free access key.
Once you have your free access key, you connect to the API, then customize the results you receive with simple parameters. You can specify the types of news, the precise sources (including omitting sources), languages, countries, and most importantly your keywords.
For example here’s how you’d request science news from CNN, but not TMZ:
https://api.mediastack.com/v1/news
?access_key=[ INSERT YOUR ACCESS KEY HERE ]
&categories=science
&sources=cnn,-tmzLet’s say you want to display Spanish language crypto news on your site, it couldn’t be easier:
https://api.mediastack.com/v1/news
?access_key=[ INSERT YOUR ACCESS KEY HERE ]
&categories=business,technology
&languages=es
&search=crypto,bitcoin,btc,xrp,ripple,etherium,altcoinThe API sends back simple JSON data that’s easy to run through. Each news item includes the author, title, description, url, source, image, category, language, country, and a published_at timestamp that records when the story was posted.
Once the feed is setup, sit back and relax. It’s all automated from now on.
mediastack is delivered by apilayer, quite rightly one of the most trusted names in APIs, and is capable of handling millions of requests simultaneously.
Fast, updated by the minute, highly customizable, reliable, and sourced from the biggest names in the news industry, mediastack is an amazing API.
There’s a free-forever plan that allows you to use the API without charge, for up to 500 API calls per month, that’s perfect for trying it out.
For commercial use, plans start at just $19.99/month, and can handle up to 250,000 calls per month. Commercial plans also include HTTPS encryption, live news delivery, access to historical data, and — should you ever need it — technical support.
Head over to mediastack today, to prepare your site for whatever events 2021 throws at us.

Jumpstart your next design project or speed up a workflow with some of these new tools and resources. With so many new tools being developed all the time, you are almost certain to find something that can help you with projects.
Here’s what new for designers this month.
Everypixel Patterns solves a common design problem: Creating seamless patterns with graphic editors is such a long and exhausting process. That’s why some people choose to get patterns from stock websites but that can be a challenge too (and difficult to search). This tool makes getting patterns less time-consuming. It includes a gallery of well-designed content, which you can customize and edit as needed.
Multiavatar is a free and open-source multicultural avatar maker. Type something in the input field and generate one of 12 billion avatars. (Everything is randomly generated and free to use.)
Lobe is a machine learning app from Microsoft that helps you create and train models. Start by showing the app examples of what you want it to learn and it will train a model for you. The tool is pretty easy to understand and you don’t need or experience or code knowledge to use it and you can train an app for free on your computer.
Laser Cat is a silly and fun Google Chrome extension that adds a cartoon cat to your browser that allows you to zap away anything you want to remove in the browser window. It’s light and fun. Go play!
Pattern Collect is a curated gallery of patterns by various designs and illustrators. You can download patterns for use in projects or submit your own to share with the design community. The library is searchable and you can get new patterns via email if you subscribe.
FarbVelo is a color palette generator that shows a new and random scheme with every refresh. The color choices are fresh and could work for a variety of projects, too.
CSS Clip Path Editor is a cool little pen by Mads Stoumann that puts an image inside of almost any clip path you can imagine. There are presets to choose from or you can adjust the settings and paths to create your own image shape.
Responsive & Configurable SVG Waves is a soothing pen by Jhey. Change the background and wave elements for a simple and cool animation in SVG.
Veed lets you host, edit, and deliver videos in the cloud using a REST API. It works on any browser, device, and bandwidth, and keeps your website light, even when delivering heavy video content.
Overlay is a plugin for Figma or Sketch that transforms components and symbols into clean and reusable React, Vue, or HTML code. The benefit? Use it to create more consistent websites and design systems more quickly and in a pixel-perfect manner.
List.js is a library for adding search, sort, filters, and flexibility to tables, lists, and other HTML elements. It is built so that it will work on existing HTML and be invisible. Plus, it is simple to install and use.
Design tokens are a “hot term” says Andy Bell. So, he wrote an explainer that breaks down what they are and how they might look in a standard data format like JSON. Read the explainer and you’ll be able to identify design tokens and understand them.
SVG Path Editor makes it easy to manipulate paths for any SVG element. The grid – if you choose to use it – helps edits stay symmetrical and easy to manage.
Operator Lookup is a practical and fun tool. Enter a JavaScript operator in the search box to learn more about what it does. (You can also choose from a “keyboard” of options.) Thanks for the tutorial, Josh W. Comeau.
Beacon is a tool designed to help you write, run, and share SQL in Slack. It makes collaboration easy so you can work on and run queries, debug, and resolve issues all in a single platform.
Plaiceholder transforms your images into lightweight placeholders using pure CSS or SVG.
Machine Translation is available as Cloud API, on-premise translation server, and SDK that can be easily integrated into lots of business cases. Both solutions work with 110 languages.
Draggable Blend Generator does just what the name implies. Change the blend mode of a background and foreground using a draggable tool so that you can see the changes in real time. Just enter the URL of a background image or pattern and color swatch and you are ready to go.
Jam Wand is a “magic wand” for making changes on your website, starting with copy. Click on any text, edit it, and submit the change to GitHub to be merged into the code. Copy changes as easy as click, type, and click again. (This tool is still in beta.)
Boost UI Kit is a collection of elements and components that will help you finish website design projects using a bright and airy style. It works with Figma for easy integration.
Romanizer is a fun game that tests your knowledge of Roman numerals. With two modes – a randomizer and a challenge you can participate in – you’ll learn to convert numbers visually in minutes.
Itmeo Market is a new online graphics marketplace with exclusive and ready-to-use templates for a variety of projects. Templates include elements for logos, UI kits, graphic elements, Instagram templates, landing pages, and more. (This is a paid/subscription-based resource.)

SAP, société du logiciel la plus durable et partenaire des organisations pour atteindre leurs objectifs climatiques, dévoile les résultats du Baromètre* du développement durable SAP/Odoxa. Un nouvel indicateur visant à mesurer l’intérêt des Français pour l’environnement et l’avenir de la planète. Cinq ans après l’adoption des accords de Paris pour le climat, les résultats révèlent que l’action environnementale est au cœur des préoccupations des Français, qu’elle agit sur leurs comportements de consommation mais aussi sur leurs perceptions des entreprises. Le Baromètre SAP/Odoxa décode l’état d’esprit des Français vis-à-vis des progrès réalisés en matière d’environnement par les gouvernements, les entreprises ou encore par eux-mêmes dans leurs quotidiens.
L’action environnementale est au centre des préoccupations des Français depuis la COP21.
Cinq ans après la COP21, l’action environnementale apparaît plus centrale pour les Français. En effet, 60% des Français ont le sentiment que l’action environnementale n’est pas incompatible avec la croissance et l’emploi. Ils ont cependant le sentiment, depuis 2015, que l’action menée contre le réchauffement climatique par la communauté internationale est un échec (78%) et attendent beaucoup de l’engagement de Joe Biden sur ce sujet. En effet, 77% d’entre eux pensent que le retour des Etats-Unis dans l’accord de Paris permettra à la communauté internationale de lutter plus efficacement contre le réchauffement climatique.
Les Français sont de plus en plus vigilants sur leur mode de consommation pour limiter leur impact environnemental au quotidien.
Les Français sont préoccupés par l’avenir de la planète puisque 9 répondants sur 10 (87%) se disent concernés par l’avenir de la planète. Cependant, 66% d’entre eux sont pessimistes sur le sujet et l’inquiétude domine. Dans la pratique, les Français sont assez vigilants au quotidien pour limiter l’impact de leur mode de vie puisqu’ils sont 86% à limiter leur impact environnemental ou sociétal de leur mode de vie au quotidien mais seuls 21% le font systématiquement.
Bien ancré dans les mentalités, 8 Français sur 10 (82%) pratiquent le tri sélectif systématique. Ils confirment leur intérêt pour la question des déchets, puisque 51% des répondants disent acheter des produits sans emballage ou avec moins d’emballages, et 35% disent vouloir adopter ce comportement. Le deuxième éco-comportement familier des Français est la consommation de produits de saison, adopté par 77% des répondants. Par ailleurs, 51% des répondants disent déjà privilégier les petits distributeurs et les circuits courts, et 35% disent avoir l’intention de le faire. Les investissements énergétiques restent quant à eux en retrait puisque 65% des Français ne semblent pas prêts à installer des panneaux solaires ou une éolienne chez eux, et 61% ne souhaitent pas remplacer leur voiture à essence par une voiture électrique.
Le baromètre révèle également que les Français sont très critiques à l’égard de leurs concitoyens : seuls 47% estiment que les habitants de leur région ont cette préoccupation, les habitants de PACA se montrant les plus critiques sur ce point (35%). Pour agir en faveur de la protection de la planète, si les Français ont fortement confiance dans les associations (77%), leurs communes (67%) et leurs régions (67%), ils sont plus réservés envers les citoyens (56%)et les entreprises (53%) et ont très peu confiance dans l’Etat (40%) et le Gouvernement (37%).
Les Français plébiscitent davantage les entreprises engagées en faveur du développement durable et cela se reflète sur leurs achats.
Les Français sont de plus en plus sensibles à l’engagement des entreprises pour le développement durable. Ainsi, 6 salariés sur 10 considèrent que leur entreprise investit pour protéger la planète et 8 Français sur 10 peuvent être séduits par les entreprises engagées en faveur du développement durable, cet engagement leur donnant envie d’acheter leurs produits (83%) ou d’y travailler (80%).
Les Français sont également de plus en plus attentifs aux actions des entreprises sur l’environnement lors de leurs achats. 72% des répondants privilégient les entreprises engagées en matière de réduction des emballages et 58% celles qui veillent à limiter les déplacements pour les livraisons d’achats en ligne. 62% des salariés estiment que leur entreprise veille à limiter l’impact environnemental ou sociétal de son activité, un sentiment encore plus présent dans les secteurs les plus exposés que sont les transports (70%) et l’industrie (62%). L’énergie (45%), l’agroalimentaire (37%) et les transports (23%) sont les secteurs d’activité considérés comme les plus engagés en faveur du développement durable. Quelle que soit leur taille et leur statut, les Français souhaitent voir l’ensemble des organisations (collectivités, administrations publiques) et des entreprises (PME, grands groupes, startups…) se mobiliser en faveur du développement durable.
SAP est un acteur exemplaire de la transition écologique et moteur de la transformation des organisations pour lutter contre le changement climatique.
SAP entend montrer l’exemple en se fixant pour objectif d’atteindre la neutralité climatique d’ici 2025 et s’engage à atteindre des objectifs de réduction des émissions de 1,5 °C fondés sur des données scientifiques en adéquation avec l’objectif à long terme de neutralité carbone. 100% d’énergies renouvelables alimentent le cloud de SAP et 94 % des employés de l’entreprise sont engagés en faveur du développement durable. L’entreprise est également signataire du Pacte mondial de l’ONU et membre d’associations partageant des valeurs communes, dont le CDP, la Value Balancing Alliance et la Fondation Ellen MacArthur. Par ailleurs, SAP est le premier éditeur de logiciels figurant en tête des indices Durabilité Dow Jones (DJSI).
SAP accompagne les organisations à atteindre leurs objectifs climatiques notamment via le programme Climate 21 et l’application SAP Product Carbon Footprint Analytics qui permet à aux entreprises utilisatrices d’analyser leurs émissions de gaz à effet de serre afin de réduire leur empreinte carbone et de contribuer au 13ème objectif des Nations Unies pour le développement durable : la lutte contre le changement climatique.
