Earning money from positive actions

We have an ethical policy which outlines the kinds of activities we love to support via our services and those we do not wish to profit from. We implemented this policy from the inception of our business back in 2004.

This isn’t a judgemental thing, it’s about concentrating our efforts to facilitate the success of those who are making a positive impact. Everyone is on a journey, including ourselves and we are learning all the time, adjusting our choices and practices based on what we currently know.

We are so fortunate to be able to work with some really amazing individuals and organisations. Take a look at our Clients page to see who else is using our Green Hosting.

We love to work with businesses, organisations and individuals who:

• wish to make a positive difference in the world.

• use methods of working which are kinder to the environment (energy efficiency, organic farming, waste reduction etc).
