1
00:00:00,008 --> 00:00:03,009
- Your workplace is where you spend the most time

2
00:00:03,009 --> 00:00:06,007
with one of your core constituencies,

3
00:00:06,007 --> 00:00:09,001
your colleagues and leaders.

4
00:00:09,001 --> 00:00:11,003
It is likely that it is with them

5
00:00:11,003 --> 00:00:13,008
that you spend the most time connected

6
00:00:13,008 --> 00:00:17,001
and generate the most digital waste.

7
00:00:17,001 --> 00:00:20,005
Therefore, it is key to dedicate special time

8
00:00:20,005 --> 00:00:22,001
and attention to this group,

9
00:00:22,001 --> 00:00:25,004
so that together you can reduce your digital footprint

10
00:00:25,004 --> 00:00:26,008
as much as possible.

11
00:00:26,008 --> 00:00:28,009
But where do you start?

12
00:00:28,009 --> 00:00:30,005
Talk to your leader.

13
00:00:30,005 --> 00:00:33,000
Let that person know about your concern

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,009
for eliminating digital waste

15
00:00:34,009 --> 00:00:38,002
and reducing the digital carbon footprint.

16
00:00:38,002 --> 00:00:39,007
Mention the importance

17
00:00:39,007 --> 00:00:43,001
of getting the whole organization on board.

18
00:00:43,001 --> 00:00:45,008
Agree with your leader to share the idea

19
00:00:45,008 --> 00:00:48,000
with the technology, sustainability

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,007
and human resources teams to spread it

21
00:00:50,007 --> 00:00:52,004
across the organization.

22
00:00:52,004 --> 00:00:55,002
Many organizations, especially larger ones,

23
00:00:55,002 --> 00:00:58,008
have sustainability or social responsibility reports

24
00:00:58,008 --> 00:01:01,002
which include the organization's impact

25
00:01:01,002 --> 00:01:03,002
on its carbon footprint.

26
00:01:03,002 --> 00:01:05,001
Proposing to include a section

27
00:01:05,001 --> 00:01:08,000
that shows how the organization is contributing

28
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,009
to the reduction of the digital carbon footprint

29
00:01:10,009 --> 00:01:14,009
is likely to be an attractive option to the company.

30
00:01:14,009 --> 00:01:17,007
If it's not possible to introduce the idea

31
00:01:17,007 --> 00:01:19,005
to the whole organization,

32
00:01:19,005 --> 00:01:23,008
you can start by doing something in your team or your area

33
00:01:23,008 --> 00:01:27,008
and then share the results with everyone else.

34
00:01:27,008 --> 00:01:30,006
That way, you will let more colleague excited

35
00:01:30,006 --> 00:01:32,000
to join the campaign.

36
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,005
Begin by holding a meeting to introduce

37
00:01:34,005 --> 00:01:37,002
and raise awareness about the issue.

38
00:01:37,002 --> 00:01:40,006
Then you can hold the workshop to decide on objectives

39
00:01:40,006 --> 00:01:43,009
and activities to achieve them and system for measuring

40
00:01:43,009 --> 00:01:46,005
and reporting the results and impact.

41
00:01:46,005 --> 00:01:49,008
You can share the results with other areas of the company

42
00:01:49,008 --> 00:01:53,003
to motivate them to join and to start doing something

43
00:01:53,003 --> 00:01:55,002
for the planet as well.

44
00:01:55,002 --> 00:01:57,000
Start motivating your colleagues

45
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,004
to further reduce the planet's digital carbon footprint

46
00:02:00,004 --> 00:02:02,000
as soon as possible.
