Digitalisation is about to fundamentally change entire economic sectors and business models as well as societal and personal conventions with enormous dynamism and it will do so in an evolutionarily disruptive way. This ‘Dvolution’ also harbours considerable advantages from a social and ecological point of view — for instance by promoting equal opportunities within the context of access to information, education and knowledge. In particular, however, since digitalisation preserves resources and protects the environment in general, it is conducive to more sustainable forms of business, living and consumption.
