Sustainability at AD
Taking care of our planet is extremely important to us, so we take the steps necessary to reduce our carbon footprint.
Ecologi
We partnered with Ecologi back in 2021 to become a climate-positive workforce.
They help us to offset our carbon emissions by planting trees. During our partnership, they’ve helped us support climate projects across the world; from India and Brazil to right here in Scotland.

No single-use items.
Our team is provided with reusable water bottles, cotton tote bags, and bamboo pens to reduce the number of single-use items in our lives. We also like to share these goodies with our new clients to encourage them to reduce waste where they can.
Education
Our Operations Manager, Lesley, passed the BIMA Sustainability Cohort with flying colours.
This was part of our longer-term goal to understand how we can do better as a company in the future by incorporating sustainability into our everyday decisions and processes.
We’re also sustainable.dev members. Sustainable.dev provides developers with resources to stay up to date and informed on the greenest tech. What they learn through these resources can be applied to our work and shared with our clients to help their sustainability efforts.
Our B Corp Ambitions
We’re serious about using our power to make real and beneficial changes for the environment and our community. That’s why we’re applying for a B Corp status.
B Corp is a legal commitment to use your profits and power for good. It ensures that we are meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance whilst being accountable to all stakeholders.
That’s why we want to achieve the certification as soon as possible.
Other initiatives
Cycle to work
While we encourage flexi-working to reduce transport emissions, our Glasgow office is right in the heart of the city. We’re part of the cycle to work scheme, which promotes healthier journeys to work and reduces environmental pollution.
Green Hosting
Our website is hosted green. Green web hosting is all about mitigating your site’s impact on the environment. Not only are we sustainably hosted, but we also make sure our clients are too! When hosting a client's site we’ve been moving them over to Amazon Web Services which have 65% renewable energy across their entire business.
