Verlingue launches GREEN IT DAY: driving digital efficiency and sustainability at work
7 October 2025, a dedicated day to reduce digital impact and boost productivity
Cutting down on digital clutter, working faster and more sustainably, and fostering a cleaner, more efficient workplace. These are the goals behind GREEN IT DAY, a new initiative introduced by Verlingue, with its first edition taking place on 7 October 2025. The project aims to raise employees' awareness of the importance of managing digital tools responsibly, such as deleting unnecessary files and emails and avoiding duplicate documents. These simple actions, when adopted collectively, constitute a tangible act of environmental responsibility while improving internal productivity. Each October, the IT department will send out a reminder inviting staff to clean up their computers. Recommended actions focus on two key areas: Files and folders- Remove attachments that have already been saved elsewhere.- Organise useful files neatly into shared folders- Empty the recycle bin Emails- Delete irrelevant messages such as promotions or notifications- Remove attachments already saved elsewhere- Archive important conversations- Clear the spam and trash folders GREEN IT DAY forms part of a broader commitment to sustainability, one that goes beyond reducing direct environmental impact to promoting everyday practices that support efficiency. In a world where data accumulation can slow down productivity, this initiative encourages us to adopt a new, collective habit of making our digital lives lighter, smarter, and more sustainable.
