Lighter software by default
Every product gets a performance budget: page weight, requests and load time are set before design and checked before launch. Fewer dependencies, optimised images and video, and no code that runs for nothing.
Environmental pledge
Our environmental pledge
At Slash Digital Lab, we recognize that environmental sustainability is a global issue that affects everyone, and we are committed to doing our part to make a positive difference. Here is what that means in the way we design, build and run digital products.

In short
The pledge. At Slash Digital Lab, we recognize that environmental sustainability is a global issue that affects everyone, and we are committed to doing our part to make a positive difference.
What it changes. Our footprint is mostly digital: the code we ship, the servers and AI models it runs on, the devices we use and the trips we take. So the pledge is six concrete commitments on those, with a public review every year and no offset-based claims of carbon neutrality.
The commitments
Six commitments we hold ourselves to
Each one targets a part of the footprint we actually control.
AI sized to the task
We use the smallest model that meets the quality bar, measured with our own evals. Caching, batching and local or on-device models where they do the job; a frontier model only when the task needs one.
Efficient infrastructure
Servers sized to real traffic, test environments switched off when idle, and data kept only as long as it is needed. When a client lets us choose, we prefer regions and providers committed to renewable energy.
Hardware that lasts
We repair before we replace and keep laptops and phones in service for as long as they do the job. Screens and devices for DOOH and events are rented or reused across activations, and retired electronics go to certified e-waste recyclers.
Less paper, fewer miles
Paperless workflows by default, inside the company and in what we build, as with JCDecaux Paperless. Our team works remote-first across Bogotá, Paris, Lyon and Madrid: we travel when being there changes the outcome, and take the train over the plane where it is a real option.
Honest advice to clients
When a lighter option does the job (a web app instead of a native app, a smaller model, fewer screens, a shorter campaign), we say so, even when it makes the project smaller.
Accountability
How we hold ourselves to it
A pledge only counts if it changes decisions. This is the loop we run.
Measure
Page weight and Core Web Vitals on every release, cloud usage per project, an inventory of our hardware, and our business travel.
Decide
Environmental impact is a criterion in every architecture review, next to security, cost and performance.
Act
Each commitment has an owner in the founding team and lives in our project checklists, not in a slide.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask about this pledge
Is Slash Digital Lab carbon neutral?
No, and we don't claim to be. We don't buy offsets to make that claim. We reduce the emissions we control (software, hosting, AI compute, hardware and travel) and report progress here every year.
Does the pledge change how you build my project?
It adds one question to every technical decision: is there a lighter way to get the same result? Most of the time the answer also makes the product faster and cheaper to run. You keep the final say.
Can you help us reduce the footprint of an existing product?
Yes. A performance and infrastructure review usually finds the biggest wins: heavy pages, oversized servers, idle environments and AI calls that a smaller model or a cache could handle. Write to us and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it.
How will we know you kept it?
Every October we update this page with what we measured, what changed and what didn't. If you see something that contradicts this pledge, tell us at contact@slash-digital.io.
