For us, file transfer is a symbol of the impact of our actions in the digital world, which seems infinite compared to the reality of a physical world with limited resources. Today, we advocate a more sober and regenerative use of the web
4% of emissions… an unsustainable impact
That’s more than civil aviation! A figure that is rising by 9% a year, but which can be reduced to 1.5% a year by adopting “digital sobriety” as a principle of action. The digital transition as currently implemented contributes to climate change more than it helps to prevent it. The impact of digital technology on the climate is unsustainable. It must be the subject of a rethink of our consumption patterns and a global reflection on new models.
Let’s take concrete action!
We’re taking on the challenge of raising awareness of the problem and helping people to reduce their digital impact on a daily basis. Like thousands of Internet users who are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of responsible, solidarity-based digital solutions, join FileVert and support projects that count.
Carbon offsetting
What does offsetting mean? Financing CO2 reduction or sequestration projects outside the company’s scope of activity.
While offsetting is not the ideal solution, it is the “best” option when it comes to incompressible emissions.
We have chosen to support the Good Planet Foundation, chaired by Yann Arthus-Bertrand; With FileVert, we transform every kWh consumed into a beneficial action for the planet, and for every tonne of CO2 achieved, we make a donation to the Foundation and an equivalent contribution to a local association
