Towards sustainability

GRICAD is committed to reducing its environmental impact.

As the demand for services increases, both in computing and data processing, environmental constraints are tightening.

GRICAD is committed to reducing its own environmental impact through its eco-responsible charter (in french), and is also committed to reducing the environmental impact of digital services such as computing and storage.

We have decided to inform users about the CO2 balance of the services we provide.
