Make Hay Ethical E-Media

Make Hay has become a Green Achiever!

If you’re not already aware of Green Achiever it is a scheme which supports businesses to communicate to potential suppliers, clients and other interested parties the positive things they’re doing for the environment.

Becoming a Green Achiever involves completing an environmental health check which results in an ‘Environmental Health Report’ showing points for consideration and action. After meeting Green achiever criteria businesses and organisations are listed on the Green Achiever website.

The first level of Green Achiever accreditation is free so why not take a little time to think about how you’re doing your bit for the environment and tell others about it too?

People often ask me how a web design company can be green and ethical and when I tell them they’re usually surprised at all the possibilities.

Many of our every day practices and aims to become greener can be applied to any office based business and so I decided to share how we go about it.

I have published 5 articles about how a web design company can be green and ethical on Green Girls Global:

Part 1 - Powered by the Wind
Part 2 - Waste? What Waste?
Part 3 - Be a Smart Consumer
Part 4 - Live your Policy
Part 5 - Make Ethical Friends

We’d love to hear about all the different ways you work to green up your business or organisation. Also, what makes you ethical? Do you have an ethical policy or affiliations with a charity for example?

We at Make Hay strongly believe that ethical businesses and organisations can work together to share good practice and raise the profile of ethical working on a wider scale. So, drop us a line and tell us what you do.

We’ve found Authentic Business & Your Ethical Business useful and inspiring resources so check them out too.
