Our Commitment To Transparency & Creating A Positive Social Impact
At BE YELLOW, social impact isn’t just an add-on; it’s a foundational value. Creating a positive impact is something to continually build on, so our pledge is to keep refining and advancing our initiatives. Creating social impact is a journey of continual learning, and we’re committed to being open about where we stand now and the steps we’re actively taking to impact over time.
​
Our Promise: A Culture of Improvement and Openness
We’re dedicated to regularly reviewing our practices and improving our social initiatives each year. We’re also fully committed to honest communication, welcoming any thoughts, feedback, and advice as we grow in this space.​

Sustainable Digital Presence
Our current website is hosted on WIX, a platform that offers several green benefits. WIX uses energy-efficient data centres and has committed to reducing its carbon footprint, striving for greener operations within its hosting and infrastructure. By using WIX, we’re able to take advantage of these eco-friendly practices, ensuring our website has a lower environmental impact from the outset.
​
Future Plans:
In the next two years, we plan to transition our web hosting and email services to entirely green servers. This will allow us to maintain a sustainable online presence as we grow, continuously aligning our digital footprint with our commitment to sustainability.
Embracing a Fully Remote Model
Operating as a fully remote agency eliminates commuting emissions for our team and allows us to work more flexibly and consciously. We are mindful of our energy use, such as avoiding unnecessary use of lighting and equipment, ensuring our commitment to sustainability reaches into every corner of our operations.
Tech Recycling & Refurbishment
We recycle all of our old tech and electronics and only buy refurbished devices. This allows us to significantly reduce electronic waste, minimise our carbon footprint, and support a circular economy. By extending the life cycle of technology, we contribute to a more sustainable future while maintaining high-quality standards in our operations.
