Our approach
Our approach
NEXQT provides a SaaS platform accessible to all local authority officers responsible for steering the decarbonisation of their territory.
Our mission is to generate a positive impact by accelerating the ecological transition through a digital service that is simple, robust, and designed specifically for territorial needs.
However, it is essential to assess NEXQT’s net contribution to the transition. This means also accounting for potential negative environmental impacts of its digital service (e.g. lifecycle and GHG emissions of infrastructure, possible exclusion of certain agents or citizens) and weighing them against the benefits it enables (e.g. reduction in GHG emissions, empowerment of public agents and citizens in their territorial transition).
As the NEXQT platform inherently processes large volumes of territorial data, algorithms, and computing power, its externalities must be identified, measured, and controlled.
NEXQT aims to grow—both in terms of the number of territories supported (more data, more computation) and the number of team members, who will need to adopt and share best practices. It is therefore NEXQT’s responsibility to maximize the net benefit delivered to the planet and to the people of our territories, while also raising awareness of these issues throughout its ecosystem.

NEXQT is currently engaged in the Sustainable Digital Label – Level 1 certification, led by INR and the Lucie agency, with a target completion by mid-2026.
In parallel, our teams—and particularly our decision-makers—are following the REFRESH training programme organised by Cap Digital and the Île-de-France Region.

Strategic pillars
Pillar 1: Optimisation and control of cloud usage
By partnering with AWS, our main provider of storage and computing servers
Sparing storage of territorial data: adjusted as needed while respecting statistical confidentiality
Efficiency of algorithms and queries: the most frugal methods and infrastructure possible
Measurement of the GHG impact of our activity on the cloud (storage and dematerialized computing) in collaboration with AWS
In collaboration with our main cloud storage and computing provider:
Data minimisation: storing only the local data strictly required, while respecting statistical confidentiality.
Algorithm and query efficiency: prioritising the most resource-efficient methods and infrastructures.
Measurement of GHG impacts linked to cloud usage (storage and computing), in partnership with our cloud provider.
To maximize its positive impact, our online activity must be exemplary in its simplicity but also useful and accessible to our collaborators both internally and externally
Accessibility of existing features: internally relying on our own no-code territory configuration / feedback from territorial user agents and support from graphic designers
Eco-design of new features (Useful, Usable, and Used)
Sobriety in the collection of personal data, limited to what is strictly necessary (last name, first name, user emails)
Improvements underway for the sobriety and accessibility of the showcase site (EcoIndex, Wave), no cookies collected
To maximise its positive impact, our online activity must be exemplary in terms of sobriety, usefulness, and accessibility—for both internal and external users.

Data minimisation: collection of personal data strictly limited to what is necessary (first name, last name, user email).
Ongoing improvements to the sobriety and accessibility of our public website (EcoIndex, Wave), with no tracking cookies collected.
Pillar 3: Embedding Sustainable Digital practices early to anticipate company growth
Today’s team members will lead—or pass the torch to—tomorrow’s teams. This relies in particular on:
The internal wiki as a lever to place Sustainable Digital practices at the heart of the company’s information system.
Responsible maintenance and renewal of IT equipment.
Good software development practices.
Clear commitments towards users and suppliers.

Impact of cloud servers
NEXQT has entered into a logic of methodological exchanges on carbon indicators with AWS, its main cloud service provider (calculations and storage).
Thus, since July 2025, NEXQT can now, via AWS's CCFT service, account for all scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions related to its use of the cloud and objectively assess the environmental impact of its technical choices.
Current figures: Our monthly carbon footprint across all uses on AWS in 2025 ranges between 10 and 22 kgCO2eq/month (equivalent to a maximum of about twenty days of continuous operation of a 1kW electric heater in France)

Since July 2025, NEXQT has been able—using a carbon calculator provided by this partner—to account for Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions linked to its cloud usage, and to objectively assess the environmental impact of its technical choices.
Compliance rate with the RGAA (General Reference for Improving Accessibility):
Accessibility
The NEXQT platform as well as the public website are currently compliant at 59% with RGAA 4.1 (internal audit from August 2025)
For more details, see our accessibility statement.
NEXQT has set itself a 4-year plan to improve this compliance rate (gradually up to 90%) and several other underlying indicators (see the multiyear digital accessibility plan).
The underlying metrics include:
The contrast errors detected by the Wave tool.
The average score on climate impact and accessibility obtained through our user surveys (after 6 months of use)
The removal of blocking difficulties for our internal collaborators.
NEXQT has defined a 4-year roadmap to progressively improve its accessibility compliance rate (up to 90%), along with several related indicators.
Exemplary sobriety of our public website:
Our public site, although relatively heavy in requests and data volume, has improved its EcoIndex score from F to ≤ C
