If we engage in online meetings without activating cameras, how much does it reduce our carbon footprint by?

Simple steps to increase corporate ESG contribution.

Often, when discussing ESG and carbon footprint, many people envision complex processes tied to bureaucratic hurdles and industrial emissions. However, the reality is far simpler yet more impactful. It's not merely about symbolic gestures like tree planting or allocating funds; true transformation lies in integrating sustainable practices into our daily routines. This shift should benefit both the planet and people without overburdening businesses or employees with extra tasks on their days off.

Thank you for taking the time to read this text, and for that, we welcome you as our allies and potential partners!

To mark this occasion, we'd like to share some fascinating facts with you. These insights will prompt you to consider the value of information and underscore the importance of finding the right approach to solving complex challenges.

When it comes to mathematics, let's dive into the numbers: The question revolves around how much the company's carbon footprint will decrease if an employee participating in 15 hours of online meetings with their camera on generates 9.4 kg CO2 per month. The equation becomes more intricate when considering the additional impact of refreshing, reading, and responding to work emails, which consumes over 3 hours daily and could extend to 5 hours if personal email accounts are included.

Undoubtedly, the digitization of our lives brings significant environmental benefits, including the reduction of CO2 emissions associated with travel. However, the increased use of the internet has a "hidden" impact on the environment, and establishing habits and a corporate culture that contribute to a successful transition to a low-carbon and green economy is an opportune way to mark a milestone in your corporate contribution.

Global eco-activists warn that in the digital world, much like in our natural environment, there is a vast amount of clutter - unnecessary emails, files, applications, duplicates of photos and videos, and so on. These are digital waste. This "digital clutter" creates "pollution" that continues to consume energy, even when we have forgotten it's there.

Every year, the internet (and its supporting systems) produce 900 million tons of CO2, which is more than the annual production of the entire country of Germany.

Our team has extensive experience collaborating with the Global Civic Organization Let's Do It World, which initiated the first global campaign for digital cleanup back in 2020. The symbolic World Cleanup Day for digital waste is usually held every March, and we will participate again this year.

If you missed out on participating in March but want to integrate the cause into your ESG practices and policies, you can count on us EVERY DAY! We will organize thematic corporate training, events, or internal corporate communications to support the cause.
