Presentation
Digital Carbon promeut le numérique responsable via un programme de compensation carbone des émissions de CO2 émis par les sites web.
Nous encourageons également nos clients à réduire l'empreinte carbone liée à leurs activités numériques via un ensemble d'engagements déclaratifs concernant notamment le matériel informatique et les usages numériques au sein de leur entreprise.
Nous avons pour volonté d'améliorer en continu notre démarche de responsabilité numérique et d'encourager nos adhérents à s'engager eux-mêmes via la charte NR.
