Reducing environmental impact with Bitrix24
Switching to an online workspace like Bitrix24 has its benefits not only for your business and your team, but also for the environment. We crunched a few numbers to help you understand how using Bitrix24 can help to reduce our environmental impact.
What is Bitrix24?
Online workspace
Working in an office means you have to commute every day. With an average commute distance of 15 miles (one way) and average CO2 emissions of 411 grams per mile, you get 60 kg of CO2 per employee per week not released into the atmosphere - all due to the fact that your team can easily work from the comfort of their homes using the online collaboration tools provided by Bitrix24.
Why is it important?
Decreasing CO2 emissions helps to make the air cleaner and safer to breathe, especially in big cities
Less CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere helps to fight the climate change
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions prevents the global temperatures from rising
Electronic documents and signatures
Thanks to the electronic document workflow and our recent e-sign tool, Bitrix24 allows your company to go completely paperless. According to the most recent data from 2021, an average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper, which roughly equals 1 large pine-tree. And let’s not forget about the fact that you don’t have to use printers anymore.
Why is it important?
The more trees we save, the more O2 (oxygen) they can produce. Oxygen is crucial to the maintaining the climate balance
Cutting down forests leads to destroyed habitats for thousands of species - by saving trees, we also save animals, birds, and other forms of wildlife
Paper production contributes heavily to the air and water pollution. Reducing our usage of paper helps to bring down the levels of this pollution as well
Business process automation
Not only does business process automation allow you to increase employee efficiency, but it also helps you to reduce the amount of time and electric power required to complete certain operations. When you automate standardized business processes like approvals, requests, and so on, you get to save around 1 hour of time a week per employee, which equals 75 kWh of power consumed by an average computer.
Why is it important?
Generating electricity at a power plant that uses fossil fuels inevitably leads to air, soil, and water pollution. Decreasing our electric energy consumption helps to reduce this pollution
By limiting our electric energy consumption, we stimulate the development of alternative energy sources, such as solar and wind energy
Using less electricity helps to conserve non-renewable fuel reserves so they could last longer.
