Eco-consciousness: let's act together to reduce our footprint
Much more than a simple file transfer publishing company, WAARP positions itself resolutely in favor of an innovative and responsible work organization. With this in mind, teleworking has established itself as a central practice within our structure, since the Covid19 pandemic.
Teleworking at Waarp: an inevitable development
Teleworking, defined in France as a form of work organization allowing employees to carry out their activity outside the employer's premises, has taken a prominent place within WAARP. The lockdowns linked to the Covid-19 crisis have accelerated this transition, with our employees expressing the desire to maintain 100% teleworking. We took this opportunity to rethink our organizational methods, promoting flexibility, work-life balance and thus contributing to sustainable development by reducing the footprint of transport on the environment.
A global commitment to teleworking
Teleworking at WAARP extends to all of our employees, including interns, and is based on voluntary work, excluding any sanction in the event of refusal. This approach is part of a desire to modernize managerial relations, promoting a balance between economic and social performance.
Since March 2020, all of our employees, including IT engineers, sales and marketing managers, as well as customer support, have carried out their missions 100% remotely. To guarantee adequate conditions, our employees must have compatible accommodation, certified as technically and electrically compliant.
Workload regulation and rigorous control
The teleworking workload is comparable to that in business, controlled by time management tools. Weekly reviews and regular discussions ensure effective collaboration.
Teleworking control methods: transparency and accountability
The teleworker organizes his working time in compliance with standards, with regular communication on the tasks carried out. Availability times and organizational needs of the company are also taken into account.
Equipment and reimbursement of expenses: complete support
WAARP supplies, installs and maintains the equipment necessary for teleworking. Costs related to teleworking are reimbursed to the extent of €60 per month, covering internet and mobile connection expenses.
Health and safety at work: indisputable priority
Teleworkers benefit from the same coverage as other employees and are monitored by the health service. Health and safety rules, particularly relating to the use of screens, are rigorously followed.
By adopting teleworking on an extensive basis, WAARP is fully committed to an eco-responsible approach, thus reducing its ecological footprint while offering its employees flexibility essential to the balance between professional and personal life.
Waste management
WAARP, as a company promoting permanent teleworking, has consciously chosen a mode of operation aimed at considerably reducing the production of waste, whether recyclable or not. Our activity, centered on the creation of computer code using professional DELL brand laptops, is characterized by a commitment to the durability and repairability of the equipment.
Choice of material
We opted for DELL brand professional laptops because of their reputation for durability and the least evidence of planned obsolescence. This equipment is selected for its ability to be repaired, with an average spare parts life of 12 years, and availability guaranteed directly by the manufacturer.
Replacement and recycling
During 2023, no replacement of recyclable material was made. The average lifespan of our employees' computers is estimated at 6 years, and most were purchased in 2021. Therefore, no replacement is planned before 2026, except in the event of irreparable breakdown or unforeseen obsolescence.
