Our pledge to eco-friendliness, continued charity work, and community partnerships are how we, as a company, can contribute to a better, greener world. These activities are closely aligned with our core values. Through support to charities and conscious decisions to go greener, here are some of the ways we help as we strive to be a sustainable copywriting agency:
- With the development of online work, there has been a decrease in paper consumption within the UK. But the amount of paper usage is still over 9 million tonnes per year according to studies. We commit to being nearly entirely a paperless office to do our part in this ecological issue.
- Small but mighty, the search engine Ecosia, which plants a tree roughly every 45 searches, is also used in the office. While writing this, Ecosia had planted 223,065,008 trees to date. Imagine how many trees could be planted in the future as more people adopt this search engine!
- While an average website emits 1.76g of CO2 per page visit (producing enough CO2 in a year to make 28,591 cups of tea!), the Global Bay servers we use are climate-positive – more than offsetting the CO2 produced.
- We have partnered with Ecologi, a sustainability programme. In 2024 this led to the planting of 41 trees, and offset the emission of 4.29 tonnes of CO2. We also contributed to a variety of sustainability initiatives including developing solar in Morrocco, protecting rainforests in Brazil and repairing water boreholes in Eritrea. Through partnerships and donations, Ecologi has planted 77.3 million trees to date. We are planting trees every month and you can see our live tree counter in the footer of this website.
- After recently losing his father to cancer, Huw decided to directly fundraise for the first time, signing up to the Movember charity. Setting a target to raise £1,000, he was pleased (and immensely grateful for the support) that through his business and personal network, he raised £1,131, gaining immediate entry to the Movember Platinum Club. Movember splits funds between men’s mental health and suicide prevention, and fighting both prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
- In 2024, once again we were pleased to support The Community of Purpose’s Break Free programme, by participating in/attending two of their fundraising events. This provides hot meals and activities for young children (8-13) in need during the school holidays. We were delighted that one of the events in which we participated raised £4,000+ on the night.
- In 2024 (and 2023), On Point Copywriting was pleased to support The HR Dept’s fundraising initiatives through prize donations and team charity quiz participation.
- We have an ongoing partnership with the University of the West of England and their work placement programme to support the next generation of writers. We welcome a third-year student into the office every year, and, through expert guidance, they leave with well-developed professional skills and self-management more ready for the world of work and, perhaps, a career in writing.
