What is Webzero?
Simply put, it is a collaboration between several digital companies unified in their belief that together, we can educate the world about the polluting nature of the internet and provide those services required to help reduce its CO2 emissions.
The aim of this website is to act as a resource centre where you can find free information and conduct your own research to find out how your digital action are contributing to global climate change.
For those businesses engaged in a quest to net-zero, this website provides those services that are missing from its sustainability plan. Here, organisations can commission a wide range of services designed specifically to measure, reduce and maintain the lowest CO2 emissions possible.
So, join the global movement for a sustainable internet. Did you know the internet contributes to climate change but can also be part of the solution. By embracing sustainability in our work, we can create a greener web that benefits people and the planet.
Together, we aim to stop 1,000,000 tons of CO2 being emitted into our atmosphere through a more mindful and efficient use of the internet and those operations that use it. From learning about “digital best practices” to analysing a website’s carbon footprint, webzero.earth is an initiative that gets stronger the more people commit to it.
Sustainability is a priority for businesses with digital technologies playing a positive and risky role. ESG targets are gaining more focus as investors and regulators enforce obligations. Customers are aware of brands' GHG costs and will soon demand action.
