We’re committed to making a difference and believe that we have a role & responsibility to play, albeit small, in promoting sustainability and sustainable development. This means that all our activities should be conducted in a manner which protects and enhances the environment, conserves and restores natural resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports the community and society as a whole.

We aim to reduce not only our own environmental footprint, but also our clients’ through digital media and by influencing the companies we work with on our clients’ behalf.

When designing websites for our clients we encourage them to reduce their environmental impact, this way of design thinking has been incorporated into our approach to sustainability and practice generally.

We recommend assessing the environmental impact of websites through the process of auditing website content, decluttering and optimising required content.

We recommend conserving all resources where possible – using a Reduce, Reuse, Recycle approach, in that order!

We are reducing our energy usage by choosing green appliances, improving office lighting efficiency and optimising heat and air conditioning usage.

We are reducing our carbon footprint by calculating the estimated annual emissions from our operations and continually moderating our impact.

All of our staff cycle or use public transport to commute to work.

We also work remotely from home.

This blended approach keeps our transport-related carbon emissions to a minimum.

As part of our 1% for the Planet commitments we are partnering with irishcyclingcampaign.ie ↗

We will periodically review our approach to managing data storage, keeping in mind carbon emissions involved in transferring data items across the internet, and storage in the cloud.

Currently, cloud storage entails lower carbon emissions than running a private data server, and thus we will continue storing our active data on the cloud.

Completed projects will be archived to locally held storage media once a grace period after project completion has expired.

This Sustainability Policy will be actively communicated and promoted to staff, clients and visitors, and progress and implementation will be reviewed on an annual basis. The policy will be subject to a comprehensive review at least every five years.
