Digital footprint

At Barcelona+B, we work to ensure our website is part of the solution, including digitally. Therefore, we have taken concrete measures to reduce its environmental impact:

  • Green Hosting: Our site is hosted by a provider verified by The Green Web Foundation, meaning it runs on renewable energy.
  • Reduced digital carbon footprint: According to Wholegrain Digital’s Website Carbon Calculator, our website emits 85% less CO₂ than the global average for websites. Each visit generates just 0.07g of CO₂. These figures may vary depending on the technology used, but reflect our commitment to measuring and improving to achieve a lighter, more accessible and more planet-friendly website.
  • Optimized images: We are working to reduce the file size of images on our website
    without compromising visual quality. This improves loading speed, reduces data consumption, and decreases CO₂ emissions associated with each visit.
