Sidetrade’s journey towards sustainability
Sidetrade places great importance on managing its environmental impact from the use of digital technologies and information systems.
We are also committed to reducing the impact of our IT systems by choosing equipment that consumes less and by practicing the circular economy for equipment we no longer use.
Sidetrade’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Targets
In 2024, Sidetrade emitted 2,110 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent across its operations in France, the UK, Ireland, Canada, and the US. Through targeted actions in digital efficiency, sustainable mobility, and responsible procurement, emissions were reduced by 3.3% compared to 2023, exceeding the initial annual target of 2.7%.
For 2025, Sidetrade has set a new reduction target of -2.5%, with a strong focus on Scope 3 emissions, which account for over 90% of the total footprint. This commitment is part of a structured, continuous improvement process, supported by the annual publication of a certified carbon footprint, compliant with both BEGES and GHG Protocol standards.
Drive innovation and invest in talent
People are the heart and soul of Sidetrade and the key to our success, with a workforce comprising 27 different nationalities.
Sidetrade is committed to increasing the proportion of women in its workforce and to act in favor of gender equality by promoting women in Tech and moving towards professional equality. In 2024, Sidetrade’s Gender Equality Index stood at 93/100, according to Egapro Index.
