Summary: <\/em><\/strong>Kdan Mobile\u2019s vision of sustainability is digital transformation, the benefits of which include streamlined and supercharged business processes, and we\u2019re focused on moving the corporate world moves toward the paperless office and hybrid work models.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Part of Kdan Mobile\u2019s vision to promote sustainability is to accelerate the digital transformation of our personal and professional lives. Driven by collaborative cloud-based technologies, digital transformation can trigger organizational disruption, with a tremendous positive impact on value creation, strategy, and structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some sustainable benefits of digital transformation that also streamline and supercharge existing business processes include the paperless office and remote work<\/a> or a hybrid work model. In fact, with the help of these cloud-based collaborative processes, Kdan as an organization has a climate pledge to achieve carbon neutrality by the end of the 2022 calendar year, while reducing business travel by at least 60% this year, with a goal of achieving incremental reductions going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital Transformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Digital strategy has become increasingly intertwined with sustainability. In a recent survey<\/a> of 400 executives from various industries and regions conducted by Bain and the World Economic Forum, 40% of business leaders said they believe digital technologies are already having a positive impact on their sustainability goals. Digital transformation has stimulated new business models and has caused disruptions in the global markets and industry. The shock waves of digital transformation have crashed upon the shores of traditional businesses while giving rise to more digitally-savvy firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples are numerous and span the gamut of industries. The hotel industry, for instance, has been radically disrupted by startups such as Booking.com and Airbnb. Spotify brought revolutionary changes to the music industry, while incumbent firms such as IBM and Starbucks have also been radically transformed. These disruptions are enabled by digital technologies such as IoT, big data analytics<\/a>, cloud computing<\/a>, mobile technologies, and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly, digital transformation is expected to accelerate the progress of environmental sustainability, with the development of digital technologies delivering improvements to the environment, health, and the entire value chain. Digital technologies have advanced more rapidly than any innovation in our history, transforming societies and reaching around 50 percent<\/a> of the developing world\u2019s population in only two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Paperless Office<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the age of sustainability and hybrid work, it\u2019s time to rethink the office. Another upside to digital transformation is that it may finally bring about the paperless office, an integral part of our vision for a sustainable future. Paperless offices as an idea have been floated since personal computers became the basis of the modern workplace. And it might become a reality for some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the right technologies, most businesses can come close. Kdan Mobile has designed its professional digital tools to put companies at the forefront of the paperless office movement. Besides offering greater efficiency and convenience to users, our applications work to help decrease your business\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the greatest benefits of these digital tools is a reduced reliance on paper. While recycling can offset some of the environmental impacts of manufacturing paper products, the long-term results are mixed and can vary by geography. Further, ink and toners contain volatile compounds and non-renewable substances can be damaging to the environment. That\u2019s why reducing paper use altogether by switching to a paperless office is a more long-term solution for sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary environmental benefits tend to fall into three areas\u2014office footprint, resources, and time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
