Climate management and decarbonisation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Addressing climate change is not only a moral imperative, but a practical challenge the Foundation tackles with rigorous, science-based tools.<\/p>\n

To pinpoint the most effective areas for action, the Foundation has embarked on a decarbonisation journey<\/strong>, calculating its Carbon Footprint<\/strong>: an inventory that measures the total greenhouse gas emissions<\/strong> generated by its activities, in line with the international GHG Protocol standard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Environmental guidelines and office best practices<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At the Foundation, sustainability is embedded in everyday culture, with staff encouraged to follow dedicated Environmental Guidelines and adopt best practices in the workplace.

Digital responsibility: environment, equity and inclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The digitalisation of work processes<\/strong> is an important step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, no activity is entirely without impact: digital tools also generate CO2<\/sub> equivalent emissions as they rely on electricity to function. This is why it is important to measure and reduce the energy needs of the digital tools used by the Foundation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1773242335538{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.compagniadisanpaolo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/goodranking-box01.jpg?id=26368) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_empty_space el_class=”fill-square”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1774610462781{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.compagniadisanpaolo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-HEADER-HOME-MOBILE-GOODRANKING-1.jpg?id=26507) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_empty_space el_class=”fill-square”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”mb-5 mb-lg-0″ offset=”vc_col-xs-10″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”text mb-0″]The project started with the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo website<\/strong>. The first stage involved taking measurements<\/strong>: the weight of the data flow transferred in a year from the server to the devices of users browsing the site was calculated. This also made it possible to calculate how much electricity was used<\/strong> and therefore how much CO2<\/sub> equivalent was emitted<\/strong> to generate the electricity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”mb-5 mb-lg-0″ offset=”vc_col-xs-10″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”text mb-0″]The website therefore underwent a profound overhaul in terms of technology and content. The aim was to reduce the number of pages and their weight<\/strong>, working on browsing paths and multimedia files. The result was a tool that was lighter on the environment and the people browsing the website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1773242638081{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.compagniadisanpaolo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/goodranking-box03.jpg?id=26372) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_empty_space el_class=”fill-square”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”mb-5 mb-lg-0″ offset=”vc_col-xs-10″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”text mb-0″]Before the improvements were made<\/strong>, the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo website generated annual CO2<\/sub> equivalent emissions<\/strong> equal to those of a petrol car travelling seven times the distance from Turin to the North Pole<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1773848022457{padding-top: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”text mb-0″]As a result of the improvement work<\/strong>, the website has reduced its environmental impact by 30%<\/strong>. Ongoing work is taking place to cut greenhouse gas emissions further.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column el_class=”mb-5 mb-lg-0″ offset=”vc_col-xs-10″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”text”]Recognising that sustainability is a continuous journey rather than a final destination, the Foundation is committed to recalculating its carbon footprint annually, improving data collection and implementing increasingly effective carbon management measures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every choice, tool and everyday behaviour thus becomes a tangible expression of its values, creating real impact for people and the local area.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”sdg-intro”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\n

However, no activity is entirely without impact: digital tools also generate CO2 equivalent emissions as they rely on electricity to function. This is why it is important to measure and reduce the energy needs of the digital tools used by the Foundation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1773242335538{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.compagniadisanpaolo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/goodranking-box01.jpg?id=26368) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_empty_space el_class=”fill-square”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1774610462781{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.compagniadisanpaolo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG-HEADER-HOME-MOBILE-GOODRANKING-1.jpg?id=26507) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_empty_space el_class=”fill-square”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”mb-5 mb-lg-0″ offset=”vc_col-xs-10″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”text mb-0″]The project started with the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo website. The first stage involved taking measurements: the weight of the data flow transferred in a year from the server to the devices of users browsing the site was calculated. This also made it possible to calculate how much electricity was used and therefore how much CO2 equivalent was emitted to generate the electricity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”mb-5 mb-lg-0″ offset=”vc_col-xs-10″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”text mb-0″]The website therefore underwent a profound overhaul in terms of technology and content. The aim was to reduce the number of pages and their weight, working on browsing paths and multimedia files. The result was a tool that was lighter on the environment and the people browsing the website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1773242638081{background-image: url(https:\/\/www.compagniadisanpaolo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/goodranking-box03.jpg?id=26372) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_empty_space el_class=”fill-square”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″ content_placement=”top”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”mb-5 mb-lg-0″ offset=”vc_col-xs-10″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”text mb-0″]Before the improvements were made, the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo website generated annual CO2 equivalent emissions equal to those of a petrol car travelling seven times the distance from Turin to the North Pole.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1773848022457{padding-top: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-offset-1 vc_col-xs-10″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”text mb-0″]As a result of the improvement work, the website has reduced its environmental impact by 30%.
