DocuSign

In 2020, DCP introduced DocuSign to enable electronic Contract Execution. This initiative is expected to reduce administrative burden for both Service Providers and DCP.  Electronic signing and sending of Agreements saves time, trees, water, and carbon emissions. According to DocuSign, one month’s worth of transactions by their users saved the planet:

In 1 month Docusign saved 323 million kilograms of wood (equal to 100 central parks), 7.2 billion litres of water (equal to 2886 olympic swimming pools), 727 million kilograms of carbon dioxide (equivalent to 1778 freight trucks), 47.7 million kilograms of waste (equivalent to 3754 garbage trucks), according to their own reporting.
