Our Commitment to Sustainability
You may have noticed from our marketing materials and branding that here at MAKE IT MANA we quite like being outdoors. In fact, when we are aren't doing great marketing, we are usually out and about exploring some beautiful parts of the UK.
Because of this, we have become incredibly passionate about sustainability and the everyday impact that we have on our environment. As a marketing agency, we already rely very little on tools or products that pollute our planet. But that doesn't mean we are perfect, far from it.
We know that there are steps we can take to further minimise our impact and we want to inspire other businesses to do the same. For this reason, we are now publishing our sustainability statement to highlight our ongoing commitment.
The statement doesn't cover everything that we know we need to do, but it factors in the actions that we can currently take whilst remaining profitable at our current size. As we grow, so will our commitment to sustainability.
MAKE IT MANA - SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
At MAKE IT MANA we recognise that our everyday actions have a negative impact on our environment. We are fully committed to lowering this impact as much as possible.
Giving Back & Offsetting
We understand that we are never going to be able to fully cancel all negative impacts we have on the environment. For this reason, we are committing 1% of our entire turnover to green causes every year in an attempt to offset as much as we possibly can.
Where we allocate this sum will depend on where we believe it will be most beneficial at the time of allocation and may be subject to change.
As part of our giving back and offsetting program, we are now working with Offset Earth to offset emissions and create a carbon positive workforce. You can check out our progress and donate to the MAKE IT MANA virtual (and real) forest by clicking the logo below.
