Leitmotiv joins the Circular and Fair ICT(CFIT) Pact as a supporting organization to advance sustainable digital procurement
The Circular and Fair ICT (CFIT) Pact is pleased to welcome Leitmotiv, an independent think tank, as a supporting organization. With this collaboration, CFIT and Leitmotiv aim to further accelerate the transition toward a more sustainable, circular, and fair ICT sector by strengthening sustainable procurement practices across public and private digital infrastructure.
Leitmotiv brings deep expertise in digital infrastructure, cloud computing, data centers, and sustainable software. Through its contribution to CFIT, the organization will support the development of procurement criteria, practical guidance, and policy recommendations to help public procurers integrate sustainability and fairness into their ICT tenders and strategies.
Max Schulze, Director of Leitmotiv, underlined the importance of global collaboration in driving systemic change:
“The CFIT partnership is a natural extension of our community. It connects a broader group of purchasers and unites their influence on the market. Together, we can steer the digital economy toward greater transparency, local impact, and environmental responsibility.”
Leitmotiv is already leading efforts to transform the digital infrastructure sector through its Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Alliance (SDIA) initiative, which brings together a diverse community of stakeholders committed to building a more sustainable digital future. Its work aligns closely with CFIT’s mission to enable change through coordinated public procurement.
By joining forces, CFIT and Leitmotiv aim to promote demand for ICT products and services that are not only high-performing, but also designed with circularity, social responsibility, and environmental impact in mind. The partnership also opens new opportunities for dialogue between purchasers, suppliers, and policymakers.
Marieke Weerdesteijn and Ekaterina Smid Gankin, on behalf of the CFIT Secretariat, welcomed the partnership:
“We value the expertise Leitmotiv brings in the field of sustainable ICT procurement. Their knowledge of digital infrastructure and systemic approaches aligns well with CFIT’s mission. We look forward to working together to advance sustainability, circularity, and fairness across the ICT sector.”
As its network of coordinating, procuring, and supporting organizations expands, CFIT continues to facilitate collaboration and practical solutions for fair and sustainable ICT procurement.
