The e-document venture titled “E-document Digital Transformation (DX) One Team” will be a collaborative effort among 14 businesses, with the established objective of reducing the network’s carbon emission output.
Once implemented, the initiative will digitize the entire tenure of the paper-based documentation process ranging from creation through to storage and finally customer distribution.
The numeral goal is to convert 4.5 billion paper documents into e-documents each year, considerably reducing carbon emissions by 129.6 billion tons.
