Sustainability
Our ambition is to make the world a better place
Here is what the team behind Compress2Go does about it: the energy we use, the paper our apps save, the causes we support, and the people we welcome.
Paperless by design
What a document goes through on paper, and how the same work is done online.
On paper
Every step needs paper, ink, or a trip to the post office.
Online
The document stays as one file, from the first edit until you send it.
Green products
We focus on developing web-based projects that help protect the environment. For example, by using less paper, you can reduce the impact on forests, cut energy use and climate emissions, limit water and air pollution, and produce less waste. So if you use one of our programs, all of your tasks will be 100% paperless.
Sustainability
Where our power comes from, and the trips we no longer take.
Renewable energy
We choose to be powered by renewable energy wherever possible. Our data centers and our office mainly use renewable energy sources such as wind, hydropower, and solar power.
Home office
All of our employees can choose to work 100% from home, permanently. This avoids daily commuting to the office and saves a lot of energy.
Video conferencing
We aim to work with our suppliers via video conference instead of meeting them in person. Visiting our suppliers virtually helps save energy and avoids travel.
Charity
Our team nominates the causes, and the company doubles what each employee gives.
Donations
Our founder and employees take turns nominating charities, non-profits, or open source projects they want to support. For every dollar an employee donates, the company doubles it. We are proud to have supported several organizations since starting this initiative and look forward to continuing this journey.
Proposals
If you think your cause is a good fit, please apply using our support page and we will consider a donation. We mainly focus on child and educational programs.

Social responsibility
What we give back beyond money: free access, shared knowledge, and jobs open to talent anywhere.
Educational program
A good education is one of the most important things. To support this, we have created the Compress2Go educational program, which offers students and teachers free access to our paid premium services worldwide. Please apply for your free educational account here.
Initiatives
We support networks and conferences financially and with our knowledge. For many years we have sponsored the local Barcamp (video) and are part of the Cyberlago network.
Freemium projects
Depending on income and location, not everyone can spend their budget the way they want. No need to worry about this; we offer most features for free. This way we support everyone. Find more information about our pricing here.
Trainees and interns
We have one of the best teams in the world, and we also regularly offer positions for interns or apprentices. We are proud that about 15% of our team is acquiring knowledge together with us.
Employees worldwide
We do not only hire talents from nearby. We have employees worldwide to increase diversity and try to build a job around every talent. You can check our open positions here.
