Sustainability Pledge

At SUMMIT7, we recognise our responsibility to protect the environment and to operate in a way that supports a sustainable future. This Sustainability Pledge outlines the steps we take to reduce our ecological footprint and the commitments we uphold in collaboration with our technology partners, clients, and stakeholders.

1. Our Commitment

We are dedicated to integrating environmentally responsible practices across all aspects of our business. Our approach prioritises efficiency, minimises waste, and supports the transition to a low-carbon digital economy. We believe technology can be a force for good, and we strive to use it in ways that benefit both people and the planet.

2. Eco-Friendly Technology Choices

We actively work with technology providers who share our environmental values. Specifically:

• We use Ecosia as our primary search engine, ensuring that each search contributes to global reforestation efforts and the planting of trees in regions where they are needed most.
• We leverage Cloudflare’s eco-friendly hosting solutions, optimising our content delivery to minimise energy use, reduce emissions, and ensure that data is served from locations powered by renewable energy where possible.

3. Reducing Our Digital Carbon Footprint

Digital infrastructure consumes significant energy. To address this:

• We continually optimise our websites, applications, and media to reduce bandwidth consumption.
• We implement caching, compression, and efficient coding practices to limit unnecessary data transfers.
• We work with partners to ensure that our services are delivered through the most energy-efficient routes and data centres.

4. Continuous Improvement

Sustainability is not a one-time effort but an ongoing process. We regularly review our operations, supplier relationships, and technical infrastructure to identify opportunities for further environmental improvements. We set measurable goals, track our progress, and adjust our strategies to maximise positive impact.

5. Encouraging Responsible Practices

We encourage our employees, partners, and clients to adopt sustainable digital practices, such as minimising unnecessary data storage, avoiding energy-intensive applications when alternatives exist, and supporting platforms and providers with clear environmental commitments.

6. Transparency and Accountability

We are committed to openly communicating our sustainability efforts and achievements. Any significant changes to this pledge will be updated on this page with a revised effective date. We welcome feedback from clients, partners, and stakeholders to help us strengthen our environmental practices.
