Documents & communication

We use a cloud based MEAP (Mobile Enterprise Application Platform), which allows us to reduce our exchanges of emails and documents, henceforth reducing our carbon emissions. It also allows our people to work as a team while located in different offices, as they can work simultaneously on the same documents of any format.
