Our Commitment to a Greener Future
At Ee By Gum Web Design, we believe that every business has a responsibility to protect the planet. Based in the heart of Leeds, we’re not just about building brilliant websites – we’re equally passionate about looking after the environment. Here’s how we’re doing our bit.
Sustainable Practices in Web Design
Our commitment to sustainability starts with how we work, ensuring that our operations have as little impact on the environment as possible:
- Energy-Efficient Hosting: We’ve teamed up with green hosting providers who use renewable energy to power our websites, ensuring your online presence doesn’t come at the cost of the planet.
- Paperless Processes: We’ve embraced digital processes, drastically reducing our use of paper. All our contracts, invoices, and communications are handled electronically, helping us cut down on waste.
- Remote Working and Flexibility: By encouraging remote working, we reduce the need for commuting, which in turn helps to lower our carbon footprint. Our team also benefits from flexible working hours, avoiding peak travel times and reducing emissions.
Green Initiatives
We’re always seeking new ways to make a positive impact on the environment. Here are some of the initiatives we’ve put in place:
- Carbon Offsetting: We’re committed to neutralising our carbon footprint by supporting offsetting projects. Whether it’s planting trees or investing in renewable energy schemes, we’re dedicated to reducing our impact on the environment.
- Eco-Friendly Office: Our workspace is designed with sustainability in mind. We use energy-efficient lighting, recycle as much as possible, and choose office supplies that come from sustainable sources.
- Sustainable Web Design: We design websites with efficiency in mind. By optimising site performance, we reduce the energy they consume, helping to make the internet a greener place.
Certifications and Partnerships
We’re proud to be part of a wider community of businesses and organisations committed to sustainability. Our efforts to reduce our environmental impact are backed by credible certifications and partnerships:
- Green Web Foundation Certified: Our hosting partners are certified by the Green Web Foundation, meaning the websites we build are powered by renewable energy.
- Local Environmental Partnerships: We collaborate with environmental groups here in Leeds to support community sustainability projects. From sponsoring tree-planting schemes to taking part in clean-up campaigns, we’re dedicated to making a difference locally.
