This clever application installs directly on each workstation and works autonomously, interacting smartly with employees to optimize electricity consumption and extend the lifespan of computers. Simply put, Elow helps businesses make the most out of their IT equipment while being kind to the planet.
Main Benefits of Using Elow
Elow brings a bunch of advantages that touch on environmental, financial, and employee satisfaction aspects. Here are some key figures and facts that highlight its impact:
- 25 to 45 kg of CO2 avoided per year per computer.
- 99.6% employee satisfaction with the application’s support and climate rewards.

The Challenge of Responsible Digital Technology
In 2024, the digital sector accounts for 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s actually more than civil aviation, which stands at 2.5%. To put it in perspective, the digital footprint is equivalent to two to three times the emissions of France. Without action, this carbon footprint could triple by 2050. It’s a massive challenge, but one that Elow is ready to tackle head-on.
How Elow Supports Employees
Elow isn’t just about machines and numbers—it’s about people too. The application supports employees daily by encouraging and rewarding their commitment to climate-friendly practices. This approach has led to an impressive 99.6% employee satisfaction rate. When employees feel involved and appreciated, it creates a positive cycle that benefits both the company and the environment.
Financial Impact on IT Expenses
Using Elow means smarter use of IT equipment, which translates directly into cost savings. Well-maintained and well-used computers break down less often, last longer, and require less maintenance and leasing expenses. This results in a 20 to 40% reduction in maintenance and support costs, plus 20 to 50% savings on purchasing and leasing new machines. It’s a win-win for budgets and sustainability.
