Sustainable web design
A forest for every website – How SOZO became a carbon positive workforce
Find out more about eco-friendly web design
With a forest of trees planted for each new site we launch, and our entire team’s carbon footprint offset, we are stepping up our commitment to help create a more sustainable internet.
At SOZO, our credentials as an eco friendly web design agency run pretty deep. If you’ve worked with us, you’ll know we’re committed to building websites that let your business fly, while cutting carbon-emitting server activity with everything from speedier page loads to green web hosting.
But SOZO’s status as an environmentally friendly web design agency goes beyond what you see on the screen. Alongside the real-world measures we talked about in last month’s blog, we’re proud to have joined up with carbon offset platform Ecologi, who are helping us achieve a climate positive workforce, plant our very own SOZO forest and support worthy projects around the world.
1280 trees planted (and counting)
As a fast-growing web agency in Cheltenham, we build a lot of websites at SOZO. Now, as a member of Ecologi, we’ve pledged to match every new site we launch by planting a forest of 1000 trees. The SOZO forest is growing fast, check it out here: SOZO Forest >
A climate positive workforce
As you’ll see from SOZO’s green pledges, lots of small-but-positive lifestyle changes can make a big difference. Now, by joining with Ecologi, we’ve stepped up our commitment to become a climate positive workforce, making payments to offset any carbon footprint produced by our staff, websites or business travel. To date, we’ve offset 37.66 tonnes of CO² – and we’re proud to have a certified carbon positive workforce by Ecologi.
Supporting the best projects around the world
But what happens to the carbon offset payments SOZO makes to Ecologi? We’re glad you asked. In consultation with a team of environmental experts, Ecologi uses its members’ contributions to fund some of the most deserving eco projects around the world. So far, SOZO’s payments have helped Ecologi invest in good deeds ranging from a peatlands restoration and conservation project in Indonesia, to a drive to convert methane emitted from Turkey’s landfill sites into green electricity.
SOZO is committed to eco friendly web design and green hosting to help minimise our impact and do our bit for the environment. If you are interested in creating your own forest or offsetting your carbon then speak with https://ecologi.com/
