Who we are ?

Greenspector is a French pioneer in sustainable digital technology, specializing in the measurement and optimization of the environmental footprint and performance of digital services.

For over 15 years, Greenspector has been developing unique solutions that measure, under real-world conditions, the energy consumption, performance, and environmental impact of mobile and web applications.

In November 2025, Greenspector joined the DRI Group, a sovereign and eco-responsible web hosting provider certified ISO 14001. This acquisition aims to strengthen Greenspector’s operations and accelerate its strategic development, particularly in the responsible mobile AI market in France and Europe. Already partners, Greenspector and DRI rely on strong synergies and shared values centered on digital sobriety and performance.

Thanks to its Device Lab and physical measurement benches covering multiple generations of smartphones and tablets, Greenspector offers a SaaS solution for testing on real devices, enabling organizations to monitor energy consumption, performance, and the environmental impact of their applications.

Listed with numerous major public and private stakeholders, the Greenspector solution is now available in self-service mode to facilitate the large-scale deployment of digital eco-design initiatives

Our mission

From the device lab to your applications, drive your energy impact and performance.

How does Greenspector
contribute to the common good?

This question is legitimate, how does Greenspector contribute to the common good?
See for yourself the actions we undertake.

Helping to reduce the impact of our customers

At Greenspector, our mission is to help our customers reduce the environmental impact of their digital services. We work on this every day, in a way that offsets our own impacts. To anchor this approach, we have included this in our statutes and are a mission-driven company.

Raising awareness of the impact of digital technology

Reducing the impact of digital technology requires awareness among all stakeholders in the sector. Raising awareness among as many stakeholders as possible also helps to accelerate the movement.

To do this, we regularly participate in interventions in schools or as part of meetups, conferences or Brown Bag Lunches, to present the subject to all digital profiles (PO, designer, etc.).

We are particularly keen to raise awareness among future stakeholders through courses in schools. This is why, several years ago, we co-founded one of the first eco-design competitions, the Green Code Lab Challenge, which was aimed primarily at students in higher education schools.

We have also chosen to raise awareness through articles on our blog and working groups or associations such as the Green Code Lab and the Green Lab Center.

Improving industry methodologies

We also participate in the common good by sharing part of our R&D.
Through this action, we want to improve the maturity of the sector and professionalize the field of measurement.

Our sharing is also done by integrating different actors in the reflections on our methodology.

To do this, we are part of the AFNOR working group, the group of experts on the eco-design of digital services of ISO/IEC, we also publish our methodology for more transparency.

We carry out public studies, in particular benchmarks of solutions or measurement of applications. Thus, we highlight the emission factors of certain uses.
Example 1: The impact of our uses in videoconferencing
Example 2: The impact of one hour of Netflix viewing

Identify and disseminate good sobriety practices

Measuring our clients’ applications and websites leads us to identify and recommend best practices. We contribute to and use existing reference documents (GR491, RGESN, 115 good web ecodesign practices, Designers Ethiques). In addition, our experience (particularly through measurement) allows us to support these recommendations with concrete feedback, or even to explore new avenues. We of course share them with our customers and integrate them into our benchmarks, our awareness campaigns and our blog articles.

Provide a measuring tool for some special structures

We can make the tool available for certain special structures (non-profit associations or certain scientific projects (VU Amsterdam)) In this context, we have the strategy of providing more limited but free versions of the tool. This is the aim, among others, of our tool Mobile Efficiency Index.

Rethinking corporate governance and its place in the common good

All these contributions to the common good are made in a context of reflection and action to improve the company’s place in the common good: financial and strategic transparency towards employees, integration into the shareholding… The company as a private common good.

Participate in external publications

Each employee is allocated time every week to monitor or participate in external projects related to Greenspector’s missions.

This is how we were able to contribute to the Web Almanac 2022 with the introduction of the Sustainability chapter.

We also participate in a W3C working group aimed at producing recommendations on digital sobriety applied to the web.

What about opening the source code?

When Greenspector was created, we made the choice not to open our source code. As an innovative publisher, our source code is the result of several years of R&D. With the talents that make up our teams, it is our main asset. Its valorization through our license sales allows us to finance all the actions mentioned above and this for all these years. Without this, our activity would be neither sustainable nor viable, our contribution to the common good would therefore be much more limited. Software whose code is not open-source is not “proprietary” in itself, it is the way in which it is used and managed that will lead to a deprivation of rights and a non-participation in the common good.Our positioning is not the only one existing, however, we believe that the diversity of approaches will help to resolve the current environmental problem.There are indeed many ways to participate in the common good, we try to work on it, in a concrete, transparent way, every day and we are proud of our approach and its results.
