Sustainability

We care about our planet and we want to help to protect it so we are committed to creating a sustainable, responsible business.

This means reducing our carbon footprint wherever we can. We factor sustainability into the decisions we make about our product and we are continuously learning how we can improve our sustainability practices. We welcome your feedback if you have any suggestions to make.

Sustainable software development

We follow green coding practices to design our software to minimise energy consumption.

Reducing energy use also improves the performance of the application. This has the added benefit of creating a better experience for the user.

The greening of our software is a work in progress, we are continuously reviewing and evolving to improve.

Carbon credits

We support climate projects all over the world through our monthly donation to Ecologi. See our growing forest here.

We chose Ecologi because as well as planting trees to support climate projects they also offer other tools like a carbon footprint calculator to help us get to net zero.

Working toward net zero
