Our website is accredited climate-positive
The Micro Business Alliance are delighted to announce that we have received the Climate-Positive Website Accreditation for our website.
Steering group member Ian Farrar, said:
“Being a responsible corporate organisation is very important to us and included in our Mission. Sustainability and our social impact is something we strongly advocate and support.
This accreditation recognises our digital sustainability leadership by taking measures to reduce the carbon footprint of our website and using green energy to power the site. As part of the criteria we also take responsibility for our website’s carbon footprint each year through high-integrity, science-backed Gold Standard or Verified Carbon Standard projects that remove carbon, restore biodiversity, and improve livelihoods.
It is imperative that we should not neglect carbon footprint of our websites and digital platforms while we
work towards a cleaner greener internet for all.”
Chair Ian Cass, said:
“Everyone at The Micro Business Alliance is thrilled to receive the EFWA Climate-Positive Website Accreditation and we’re proud that our website is accredited as Climate-Positive as we take responsibility for our digital presence.”
