Just Decarb: Decarbonization in Action
A platform for aligning words with actions.
When it comes to Decarbonization, there are no commitments—only proof of commitment.
This is the logic behind the creation of Just Decarb. The platform is part of GRDF’s new corporate initiative titled “Decarbonization Mission.” Its purpose is to shed light on the major challenges of the Ecological Transition and the changes taking place in the energy sector.
Its ambition: to use its content to illustrate GRDF’s determination to work toward a future where green and Renewables replace fossil fuels and carbon-based energy.
A name that calls for action
Just Decarb is a call to action for everyone who wants to be part of the solution to climate change.
The term “Just” expresses GRDF’s commitment and determination to take decisive and immediate action toward Decarbonization.
“decarb,” short for “Decarbonization,” highlights the central objective: to decarbonize GRDF’s operations and the gas network, help our customers reduce their Carbon Footprint, and support the initiatives of our partners and Stakeholders.
A platform that adheres to eco-design principles
Because digital technology plays a dominant role today and the sector accounts for nearly 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions (source: Arcep), GRDF is committed to measuring and gradually reducing the environmental impact of its communication tools.
Just Decarb was designed with existing best practices in eco-design and accessibility in mind. The goal is to minimize the website’s environmental impact from the moment it goes live and throughout its operation by adopting a minimalist editorial approach.
In the interest of full transparency, GRDF informs you that this site is rated C according to the EcoIndex framework.
EcoIndex Scores: How Do They Work?
The EcoIndex score measures the environmental performance of web pages, using the same A-to-G rating system as energy labels for household appliances. Based on a page’s address (or URL), this rating takes three technical parameters into account:
- the complexity of the page’s structure (for those in the know, this refers to the number of elements in the Document Object Model, or DOM), which gives an idea of the energy the user’s browser will need to expend to display it;
- the size of the transferred data, in KB, reflecting the energy required to transport the content from the server to the browser;
- the number of HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) requests required from the browser to the server.
