Dear GreenNet friends,
It's time once again for our annual GreenNet winter newsletter. We'd like to thank new and longstanding GreenNet users for your support in 2023 and wish you a very merry festive season.
We've been keeping busy this year as usual. In 2023 we welcomed new customers from Netuxo and Wave, and connected thousands of users in various ways - check the revived GreenNet in Numbers report below.
If you just want to see when our office is closed for the holidays, please skip to the end of this message.
