Presentation
Pwablo est une micro-agence numérique fondée par Guillaume Gustin et basée à Bruxelles. Elle accompagne des organisations à impact dans leur digitalisation, avec une attention particulière portée aux enjeux environnementaux et sociétaux.
Ses activités incluent l’éco-conception de sites web, le développement de solutions sur mesure, l’automatisation de processus métiers et la sensibilisation au numérique responsable. Les projets sont conduits en veillant à la sobriété technique, à l’accessibilité et à la protection des données.
La signature de la Charte Numérique Responsable formalise cette démarche et s’inscrit dans une logique d’amélioration continue. Pwablo reverse par ailleurs 2 % de ses bénéfices à Team for the Planet.
