“We are passionate about sustainability and educating businesses on the environmental impact that inefficient websites, digital platforms, and technical architecture play in consuming unnecessary power. During our first year, we developed and launched our A+++ framework to deliver ‘greener’ technology, which has helped clients to reduce their carbon emissions and hosting bills as a result. We look forward to building on this over the next 12 months, especially at a time when the spotlight is on businesses to reduce their carbon footprint.”
