Virtuosa is the programme with which we support and enhance virtuous realities in the area, with our experience, our services and our platform.
We are still in an experimental phase, after which there will be more information about it.
Venipedia is the result of intense and constant daily work of continuous improvement. Even in sustainability..
We achieve this by working on several fronts:
- Constantly optimising the platform and periodically updating the infrastructure.
- Using renewable energy in our offices and optimising them.
- By joining reforestation programmes to offset the carbon footprint generated by traffic.
Platform and infrastructure
Optimising the platform means less power required for our servers, your computer, your smartphone and your tablet. This means less power consumption of our infrastructure, of your electricity grid and lower battery consumption of your devices. This means a This means a faster and more user-friendly site, but also one that pollutes less.
Renewable energy, less plastic and conscious office management
As of 1 January 2014 our offices and web servers internal are powered by green energy from 100% certified renewable sources. certified renewable sources.
We make conscious choices so that energy demand is always lower, for example through intelligent devices for internal data network management, through the use of low-radiation devices (wi-fi, cordless phones, etc.) or through the replacement of the lighting. of lighting with LEDs and other low-power systems.
We have also replaced our computers, now with aluminium cases and more sustainable and recyclable, actually reducing plastic.
Since 2020 we have removed plastic from the covers of our paper books, choosing only natural papers.
From 2021 we will introduce water purifiers and reusable glass bottles, so as to eliminate all excess plastic resulting from the use of disposable bottles, and we have invested in in electric mobility to further reduce our impact on local pollution.
Reforestation
We join reforestation projects to do our part in countering global warming, such as Lifegate's Zero Impact Web® and ReforestAction (here our press release).
This means that even part of the emissions from your visits will be offset through the creation and protection of growing forests. It is a small action, and others will be needed, but if it is done by many helps to create awareness and do good for the environment, ourselves and the future. Above all, allows us to navigate through these pages with a little more peace of mind.
Carbon removal projects through the Stripe Climate programme
Reducing CO₂ in the atmosphere is crucial to combating climate change, but we are lagging behind. A portion of every online purchase made on Venipedia helps to promote new carbon removal technologies. carbon. From September 2021, in fact, we have become members of Stripe Climate to fund state-of-the-art carbon removal systems.
