Every GRADO Tech business app digitises processes that today burn paper, ink, electricity, fuel and time. The result is not just efficiency: it is CO₂ never emitted. Measurable. Verifiable. Reportable to your stakeholders.
Every estimate uses public emission factors (ISPRA, EEA, Carbon Trust, Environmental Paper Network) and conservative assumptions. Formulas are at the bottom of the page and the calculator below runs the actual math, not an animation.
ISPRA for Italian grid mix, EEA for the European car fleet, Carbon Trust for streaming, EPN for paper.
We estimate what the same company would still consume by printing and travelling, and subtract the digital scenario.
When data ranges, we pick the low end: better to under-estimate the saving than to inflate it.
We only have one planet. And one chance not to waste it.
Every line of code we write has an environmental cost — and a benefit. Our job is to keep the scale tipping the right way.
Enter the number of employees and tick the services you use (or would use). The calculation runs live, in your browser. No data leaves your device.

Conservative estimate. Real saving depends on your current digitalisation level, the energy mix of your hosting provider and the kilometres actually avoided. See methodology and sources.
A risk-assessment document compliant with Italian D.Lgs. 81/08 routinely exceeds 250–300 pages between general section, job sheets, annexes, inspection reports, training and PPE. It must be reprinted — usually in multiple copies — at every legally-required update.
Every module of the GRADO suite replaces a chain of paper, travel or obsolete hardware. Here is where.
GRADO Security
DVR, deadlines, inspections and 81/08 training. See case study above.
GRADO Academy
E-learning training with attendance tracking and certificates. Cuts out travel, classrooms and printed materials.
GRADO HR
Digital payslips, holiday requests, online contract signing: no more paper forms on the wall.
GRADO Reflow
Digital load/unload registers and FIR forms instead of paper registers, travel copies and counter stamping.
GRADO Hub
Warehouse, orders, DDT and shipping notes electronically: less paper post, fewer errors, fewer reprints.
GRADO Connect
Cloud CRM that removes duplicate quotes, contracts and customer files.
GRADO Food
HACCP records, temperature checks and health forms, fully paperless.
GRADO Assistant
For training providers: attendance registers, certificates, enrolments and online tests, replacing paper and binders for every client company.
Estimates for a typical SME (~15 employees). Figures scale linearly with headcount in the calculator.
For a base of 100 SME customers using the full suite, here is the cumulative saving compared to common reference objects.
78 t of CO₂ never emitted
A multi-tenant cloud server runs at PUE <1.2 on certified renewable-powered data centres. A rack of servers in your office does not.
Our web apps run on any browser: no high-end PC to refresh every 3 years, no extra e-waste.
1 hour of video call ≈ 36 g CO₂ (Carbon Trust). A Rome–Milan car trip ≈ 70 kg. The ratio is 1:1,900.
A toner cartridge pollutes soil and water for 100–1,000 years. Less printing = less hazardous waste.
Saving figures are exportable: useful for sustainability reports, CSRD compliance and green-themed grants.
EU-based servers, GDPR-compliant, low latency: less transatlantic traffic, less wasted network energy.
