Why Choose Runbox?
The current state of climate change is alarming, with rising global temperatures, extreme weather events, and rapidly diminishing ecosystems. There is urgent need for collective action to mitigate the impact on the planet. Technology companies contribute significantly to global energy consumption and carbon emissions, and therefore have a unique responsibility to lead the way in environmental sustainability. At Runbox, we take this extremely seriously, and our entire service is based on the principle of sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. Our Company Values and our Environmental Policy reflect our commitment to acting in an environmentally conscious and sustainable manner at all levels of our organization, and guide our operations as an email service provider.
