The simple change businesses can make to cut carbon emissions today

It may not be the biggest, but even your digital marketing has a carbon footprint

22 Nov 2022

When it comes to solving climate change as a business, it can be difficult to know where to start. 

While mammoth efforts to reduce carbon consumption are noble feats to aim for, sometimes they aren’t so easy to achieve. As a business, ignoring the issue may seem like the only other solution, when all this does is create a bigger problem. 

But what if there was an easy switch your business could make today, that could instantly cut its carbon emissions? A solution that applies to all businesses, regardless of the age, size or even niche of that business? 

Allow us to enlighten you.

Your Digital Marketing Has A Carbon Footprint And You Don’t Even Know It

There isn’t a business in existence that hasn’t sent at least one email to customers, suppliers or even internally to its staff. The average actually stands at 300 billion emails sent per day across the globe, according to various sources. 

What most people don’t realise is that digital marketing has a carbon footprint and email marketing is no exception. Research by the BBC found that a typical email generates between 4g and 50g of carbon emissions, depending on its size. 

Once you tally up those 300 billion emails sent daily – that sure is a lot of carbon. 

Here’s the thing. It’s not feasible to stop sending emails altogether. But what is possible is to switch from email marketing tools such as HubSpot, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign or even regular Gmail (if you’re old school like that) to a greener alternative instead. 

EcoSend by GoSquared is that solution, and here is why. 

No, Your Business Won’t Lose Out For Switching To A More Sustainable Marketing Platform

It’s okay to say it. Often there’s hesitation in switching to a better alternative for any cause, due to the misconception it means losing out as a result. 

But not with EcoSend by GoSquared. Since 2006, we’ve provided an email marketing tool to businesses across the globe in the form of GoSquared Engage.

EcoSend is equally packed full of features to help you send smarter email campaigns, measure the success of those campaigns and ultimately grow your business.
