Sustainable Web
Sustainability is more than a feature, it’s a foundation. We're designing for a lighter digital future. Our website is built to reduce environmental impact, aligning with our broader sustainability commitments.
Why sustainable web matters
By optimizing our website to reduce energy consumption, we demonstrate our commitment to environmental stewardship
By simplifying design elements and reducing content, we can streamline operations and reduce server load and costs
By adopting and promoting sustainable web practices, we set a benchmark for other players in the energy sector
Measuring and reducing our digital carbon footprint
Every element of a website requires data transfer and processing power, all of which consume energy. And when it came to redesigning the EDP new website, keeping its carbon emissions as low as possible was one of our main priorities.
Here are some of the things we have put in place to keep our website emissions low:
- Sustainable coding, designed efficiently to consume minimal energy;
- A 100% renewable electricity data centre;
- Compressed images, reduced video and lightweight fonts;
- A simple web architecture and simple file formats;
- Revised and reduced content to keep it to the essential;
- A website carbon badge on the bottom to be transparent and raise awareness.
A simple page like this consumes the same amount of energy as:
