Defining
Sustainability
at Mightybytes
Technology should serve people, the planet, and create conditions for shared prosperity. By and large, current systems don’t support this.
As a digital agency, every strategy, product, service, and operational decision at Mightybytes is measured not only by profit but also by the real social, environmental, and economic change it creates. The results of this measurement guide how we grow, reinvest, and share value with our stakeholders.
What can we expect from an agency? It can’t be just ‘how to sell more product.’ It has to be a full range of services that help companies change their products and use less energy, so that when people are looking for advice from marketers, that you can connect them up to this bigger conversation. That you can advise them on a range of sustainability questions from the manufacturing right through to the communications, the sales and the corporate claims.

Our Commitments
By prioritizing sustainability in our operations and throughout the life cycle of any project, Mightybytes creates greener solutions that comply with reporting standards while improving the web’s overall environmental impact.
Energy Efficiency
Mightybytes optimizes deliverables to minimize power consumption, which can lead to reduced emissions, lower costs, and improved efficiency.
Circular Software Design
We create lightweight, modular, reusable components that load quickly and improve performance, efficiency, and usability. Coupled with responsible data governance and end-of-life strategies, this can extend hardware product lifespans and reduce e-waste.
Responsible Sourcing
We partner with suppliers who meet clear environmental and social standards.
Carbon Awareness
Mightybytes measures, reduces, and reports on company and product emissions. We also offset what we can’t reduce by partnering with responsible providers.
Community Engagement
We share practical sustainability tips with our community and support sustainable software initiatives that drive emerging regulatory guidance.
Creating Collective Impact
As co-authors of the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Sustainability Guidelines, we have contributed to a clear, actionable, and measurable roadmap to help you find success while supporting global impact frameworks like the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
