The world is moving to a greener place, and we are here to help your business do the same with our private business email service. Email accounts for a huge portion of data traffic on the internet, and even a single email can contain hundreds of megabytes in attachment files. This is why we have created our green email hosting service, making it easier than ever to reduce your company's carbon footprint and at the same time increase your security and privacy.
Every day we send and receive millions of emails
Email is a crucial business tool and it's used daily by billions of people. We send and receive around 100 billion emails each day, so it's not surprising that most of us have hundreds or even thousands in our inboxes.
Email uses electricity
Most of us don't think about how much electricity is used to send emails. But the truth is, it takes a lot more power than you might think to process, store and deliver each email sent and received. In fact, according to a study by Microsoft Research, all of the energy used to send, receive and store emails in one year accounted for 1% of total global energy consumption—that's roughly equivalent to driving every car on earth over an additional 12 km every year!
What's more worrying is that most email service providers rely on fossil fuels for their power supply which means that your company's inboxes could be contributing indirectly towards CO2 emissions responsible for climate change.
Power your email with 100% renewable electricity
There are very few companies providing email services who have committed to operating their servers with 100% renewable electricity. I-Next has been working to meet our SME Climate Hub commitment for almost a year now, and we’re proud to say that our email service is now powered by 100% renewable energy. This means that when you send an email from one of our email hosting solutions, you can rest assured that your message will help reduce CO2 emissions and minimise your company's impact on the environment.
