Our impact

A do-good day for every Craftie.

Each year, every Crafted team member has a charity day to use as they wish. People have used it to build a Soapbox car, help out on their children’s school trip and volunteer at soup kitchens. As long as it has a positive impact, we’re happy to support it.

Donating to causes close to everyone’s heart.

Every time around Christmas, we give each team member £100 to donate to a charity of their choosing. Everyone contributes to our success, so everyone should choose where we give back. This is in addition to a selection of local charities we’ve supported for several years.

Laptops for young people.

We donate laptops to the Creative Computing Club. It's a community interest business that helps inspire young people into the world of tech. It also extends the lifespan of our old (but still very much functioning) laptops. 

Green Team Days for Crafties.

Going from clean coding to dirty hands; we regularly organise green team days supporting Suffolk Wildlife Trust with conservation projects. 

Supporting new careers in digital.

We deliver career talks, interview preparation and insight into digital at local education establishments. We also host our own events for students. For example, University of Suffolk final year marketing students took over the agency as they worked on a live CIM pitch competition.

If you want us to help with an event you’re running, please reach out.

ISO 14001

Our commitment to reducing our impact hasn’t sprung up overnight. We've held our ISO14001 for Environmental Management since 2017 and as part of that we're always looking at new initiatives for positive impact.

Diverse sustainability initiatives.

We support a diverse set of environmental sustainability initiatives. It helps us to prioritise trusted schemes that deliver meaningful impact across the United Nations 17 Sustainability Goals. 

For more than a decade, we've been invested in supporting these initiatives. Previously, we worked with carbonfootprint.com, investing in schemes across national initiatives such as UK tree planting and global initiatives such as supplying clean cooking stoves across South Sudan and mangrove regeneration in Madagascar. Following this, we've partnered with Ecologi on international tree planting schemes.

These schemes are an addition to our wider CSR strategy. Reducing carbon in the first place is always more effective and we're actioning that across our operational processes and service delivery for clients.

Sun, sea and sparkling beaches.

We team up with Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to clean up Suffolk beaches.

We promote a green workspace.

We use eco-friendly, refillable cleaning products, run recycling initiatives as well as reducing single use cup wastage with reusable KeepCups for all Crafties.

Green travel policy.

Where possible we opt for more sustainable methods of travel for our teams. We use limited flights, share lifts, book trains and default to virtual calls. We also have a cycle to work scheme. 

Green web hosting.

All of the web projects that we build are hosted on platforms using sustainable energy, such as Microsoft Azure. We may not always have control over the hosting environment but will suggest using sustainable solutions where possible.
