Renewable-energy web hosting
Our web services (including our online course) are hosted on Krystal, a UK-based certified B Corp that powers its data centres with 100% renewable energy.
Our environmental commitments
Reducing our carbon footprint.
We work to reduce the environmental impact of British Sign through renewable-energy hosting, solar generation, paper-free processes, recycled packaging and support for climate projects. We continue to review what we can reduce directly and how we support action for emissions we cannot currently avoid.
What we do
Six everyday commitments.
Practical things we do, year after year.
Rooftop solar
Rooftop solar panels provide renewable electricity for our office and reduce the amount we draw from the grid.
Digital-first admin
We run day-to-day administration digitally and request digital-only invoices from suppliers wherever possible.
No unsolicited marketing
We do not buy mailing lists or send unsolicited bulk marketing emails or postal campaigns.
Native trees & rainforest protection
Each year we plant native broad-leaf trees around the UK (we’ve already planted in the South-West, North-East, North-West, and London & Thames) and help protect at-risk areas of the Brazilian rainforest – find out more.
100% recycled packaging
Since 2018, our ‘Sign to Me’ CD-ROM has shipped in 100% recycled and recyclable cardboard packaging.
Offset standards we choose
Projects using recognised certification standards.
We also contribute to climate projects and tree-planting programmes through third-party providers. These contributions sit alongside our efforts to reduce emissions directly. Depending on the project, the programmes we support use recognised standards including those below, and contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
