Cyber cleanup week challenge: we still need you!

In 5 days we deleted 3.2 million emails! That’s the equivalent of 35 tons of CO2 or 35 trips from Paris to NYC! That’s good, but not enough! Let’s mobilise a little more to reach the 10 million deleted emails!

Cleaning up your mailbox is a daily habit. Get started!

Start by doing a major clean-up:

Empty your inboxes
Empty out non-priority folders
Delete old invitations received
Delete your old emails
Delete emails with large attachments and save your attachments on your computer

And on a daily basis :

Avoid copying everyone on your emails
Share your documents using Teams
Send links to large files
Remove images from signatures when replying to an email

“Cyber Cleanup Week” challenge: a week to reduce the environmental impact of the Econocom Group’s mailboxes

The European Sustainable Development Week starts today. As a responsible digital entrepreneur, let’s not miss this opportunity! Let’s mobilize to win the Cyber Cleanup Week challenge!

What is Cyber Cleanup Week?

Cyber Cleanup Week is a challenge aimed at organising a digital cleanup of data and thus reducing our collective environmental impact.

To follow our efforts live, a barometer will be accessible on the Onelink homepage.

What’s in it for us?

Firstly, a significant reduction in our digital environmental footprint!

Thirdly, a result that we can be proud to reveal to our clients, our partners or our future talents and that will reinforce our leadership.

Why mobilise?

Imagine: every email, every search or every video consumes energy and generates greenhouse gas emissions. On a global level, the impact of digital technology is between 2% and 4.3% of total CO2 emissions and between 5 and 10% of total electricity consumption depending on the source!

It is time to act!
