to reduce our CO2 emissions and impact at source

• We generalize​ a responsible purchase approach, by focusing as soon as possible short circuits and the consideration of environmental and societal criteria in our purchasing policy
• We adapt our IT equipment fleet taking into account sustainable, reduction of electric consumption, and life cycle criteria. Materials are so used for at least 5 years.
• We prefer reconditioned computer equipment, reducing our carbon footprint and the pressure on the extraction of natural resources and the degradation of natural areas.
• We use repackaged print toners

Reduction of our own carbon emissions

by focusing on the most virtuous solutions

• Soft modes of transport​ are focused and supported by the company. Public transport, cycling and walking are preferred for everyday travel.
• We focus on talking in visio in the context of our commercial exchanges, in order to reduce the emissions tied to transport. If it’s not possible, we focus on transportation by train.
• We limit the impressions to the bare minimum necessary.

Carbon compensation policy

to compensate what we can reduce

We offset our own carbon emissions by participating to the carbon offset local project financing, related to biodiversity, and the actors of the territory.

Our first project of carbon offset allows to plant 150 m linear of agricultural hedges within a closed hovel, in the country of Caux (Normandie). This project will have several missions: improve the stabilization and water retention in the soil, provide a varied habitat for biodiversity, promote the conservation of a local agricultural and natural heritage, and promote exchanges between the agricole and company’s world. It will allows the captation of 15 Tons equivalent CO2 in 25 years, and is completed by a complementary offset project of 15 T abroad.

Greenoco measures its carbon emissions every year, in order to participate other projects of carbon contribution all along the increasing of our own emissions.
