The digitalization that Humand promotes in companies contributes significantly to the reduction of paper use in several areas:
- Forms
- Invoices
- Documents
- Files
- Electronic Signatures
- Digital Newsletter
- Internal communication
In other words, the digitization of these areas, and many other processes, generates a drastic reduction in the use of paper, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in several ways:
- Less deforestation: Producing paper involves cutting down trees, which reduces the capacity of forests to absorb CO2, a greenhouse gas. Less paper used means fewer trees cut down.
- Less energy in production: Making paper requires a lot of energy, which often comes from fossil sources that emit greenhouse gases. Reducing the demand for paper reduces the energy required and, therefore, the related emissions.
- Less waste: Paper discarded in landfills decomposes and can release methane, another potent greenhouse gas. Less paper use leads to less waste and potentially less methane emissions.
Reducing the use of paper, therefore, has a positive effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, thus contributing to combating climate change.
