Ethics form a huge part of our company. We’re a very ethical team, with 5 simple rules that direct everything we do:
NO BS Do what you say. If we say it’ll be ready Wednesday 10am it’ll be ready.
Make it green. All our services reduce paper,print and couriers.
Ethical investments. I’m mostly talking banking here. Our savings & investments avoid arms, gambling & tobacco. Currently we use RateSetter peer to peer lending and the Royal London Ethical Bond a lot.
Give money & support – We give at least 1% of turnover to charity.
Current CSR projects:
– move all office electricity to renewable supplier
– review carbon neutral hosting options for backups, or offset (amazon s3 EU is now carbon neutral)
– find an ethical bank to hold cash reserves
If you have any ideas that could help us do better with our ethics we’d love to hear them!
