Why Abstrakt completed the website carbon impact study.
As an agency and Certified B Corp, we work with clients across many industries and notice that sustainability goals and digital carbon footprint knowledge differ immensely. We were keen to understand which industries are already following sustainability best practices and which need more support in the education of their website’s impact.
We hope this study aids your understanding and informs you on how you can start to make incremental improvements to your website’s carbon footprint.

In partnership with
