Sustainable Growth
Conducting business in a sustainable manner doesn’t mean compromising performance.
We’ve made a number of sustainability commitments to demonstrate our desire to conduct business in a “better way”, whilst also being focused on results.
As a pending B Corp, we’ve outlined our commitments below. We don’t only work with other B Corps, but if you’re a like-minded organisation we’re probably very keen to work with you.
We take inspiration from the “blueprint for better business” and the B Corp movement. Our intention is to do well and do good.

Mission Statement
Our goal is to help purpose driven organisations improve the measurement and effectiveness of their website, to persuade more visitors to take the desired website action and therefore magnify their social and environmental impact.
What do you mean by "Purpose Driven Organisations"?
There’s a growing understanding of the responsibility of business to help with global challenges such as climate change, but organisations can more broadly address challenges of this nature, without focusing on single issues, by becoming Purpose Driven.
Organisations often focus on success measures such as “profit” and “value” and get pulled towards thinking of them as financial value and financial profit (typically for shareholders); but Economists have noted for centuries that value should be taken to include factors more broadly than that, even trying to measure intangibles such as “happiness”.
We believe that the greatest “value” can be achieved by businesses & organisations taking these other factors into account in all forms of decision making, especially considering how to generate the greatest value for all stakeholders (employees, customers, neighbours, government etc.) and not just shareholders.
Purpose driven organisations are those that recognise this wider responsibility of value creation. It is by working with organisations of this type, to improve the effectiveness of their marketing activity, that we believe we can have the greatest impact on value creation.
What do you mean by "B Corp"?
B Corp is a non-profit network transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet. Their goal is to demonstrate that successfully profitable businesses can take social and environmental factors into equal consideration when making decisions.

"Planet Commitment" - Minimising Our Footprint
We’ve committed to measure & track our energy use, use renewable energy where possible, minimise our carbon footprint and be aware of our impact in each of the Scope 1, 2 and 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
We also monitor and minimise our water wastage and dispose of waste responsibly.
We offset our carbon footprint with Ecologi, but we’re very conscious that our primary goal is to measure and reduce our carbon footprint however we can.
"Profit Commitment" - Charitable Donations
We’ve made a formal commitment as a business to give 5% of revenue to charitable causes each year. This includes our Monsoon Maker commitment with Frank Water, along with other charity partners we have formed a close relationship with.
We also commit to work in a financially considerate, sustainable manner and to collaborate with other stakeholders (suppliers, clients, government etc.) to generate a profit responsibly.
Inclusivity, Equality & Diversity Policy
We strongly believe in encouraging a collaborative and inclusive working culture. We believe it benefits everyone to promote diversity and eliminate discrimination in the workplace, or any business interaction.
Anyone we interact with will be respected and valued; we will not provide less favourable services or behaviour on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, religion or belief, or sex and sexual orientation. We are opposed to all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination.
