Furthermore, our MotherBoard Charter will deliver its annual impact report, highlighting the achievements of its Charter members and increasingly use the data provided to support organisations fighting for legislative change at the government level.

FOR OUR PLANET

  • As a B2B service provider, we store an increasing amount of customer and candidate data. Given our learnings from within the Green Tech South West community, we are increasingly aware that the life cycle of storing, processing, and transmitting digital information is an area that we need to pay significant attention to.
  • Beyond planting trees. We offset our annual emissions via a carefully selected range of projects within developing countries, that have strong additional benefits beyond reducing carbon emissions. These include health benefits, saving low-income families money and reducing deforestation in a village in Africa. All of the projects are certified to the Gold Standard and include efficient household cooking stoves and clean drinking water projects.
  • 2022 Carbon Reporting. 16.2+ tonnes offset.
  • E-waste. Our tech is recycled and disposed of responsibly.
  • Where do we go next? The introduction of a data storage strategy across our CRM, website and internal documents, email management systems to significantly reduce our storage footprint.

When designing this website, keeping carbon emissions to a minimum has been a constant consideration along the way, for every page. We kept page weight to a minimum, opted for lean functional simplicity rather than fancy polluting features.
