  Fighting climate change

  We already know that the cloud-based solutions we use allow us to consistently reduce energy consumption related to servers operation and servers cooling. ; ; Numerous scientific studies have shown that cloud solutions can reduce energy consumption by around 70% compared to traditional installations that host their own IT services leading to redundancy to guard against failure and excess server capacity to handle spiky demand. ; ; We have also just launched a carbon assessment of our emissions on scopes 1, 2 and 3. This detailed diagnosis will enable us to identify our main areas of action to reduce our emissions as much as possible and aim for Net Zero as soon as possible.; ; Contentsquare will make a climate commitment by the end of the year and will make its carbon accounting public in order to obtain a Science Based Target (SBTi) certification.

  Tackling economic inequality

  Contentsquare's model is to contribute to building a more human digital world by improving the experience of web users.

Whether you sell homemade cupcakes online or millions of smartphones, our tools will help you grow. ; Our services are also aimed at the public sector, which uses our tools to make public services more inclusive by bridging the digital divide. For example, simplifying the process for users to obtain public aid allows many more citizens to benefit from it. ; ; Fighting against economic inequalities also means facilitating the integration of people who are in a situation of exclusion.
