Our impact
Everyone, and especially businesses, should be accountable for understanding, measuring and reducing their impact on the environment while improving their impact on the community.
On this page we reflect on the influence our business has on the wider world.
Our environment
As an industry, generally speaking, our impact on the environment is minimal. This is true of SimpleClick as we do not generate a lot of waste from manufacturing, our office is modern and efficient, so is the equipment we use, nor do we travel a lot.
Our carbon footprint for the year 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023 was calculated at 0.6 tonnes with the breakdown shown below:
It is our policy to:
- Think before we print. Our rule is to be paperless unless absolutely required.
- Recycle or reuse all waste that we can, including paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, toner cartridges, computer and peripheral equipment, and office furniture.
- Turn off electrical equipment if not being used.
- Turn off lights in rooms that aren’t used.
- No heating or air conditioning while rooms are unoccupied.
- Travelling for meetings is kept to a minimum; Zoom or Teams calls are our preference.
- When we do travel, public transport is our preferred mode of transportation.
SimpleClick’s office is leased and is part of a wider business park that is managed by the Landlord and managing agent. They provide electricity and water utilities as part of our lease agreement. SimpleClick is not involved in sourcing utility providers or the maintenance of associated services and equipment, for instance, the septic tank.
We have adopted a carbon management process to achieve Net Zero by completing the following steps:
- Measure - assessing the organisation’s footprint
- Carbon offset - compensating for damage already done
- Reduce emissions - taking steps to reduce our footprint
We are offsetting our carbon footprint through a verified carbon reduction project, planting trees in the East of England where we are located.
The certificate of our carbon reduction commitment can be viewed here.
Our local community is important to us
SimpleClick is proud to have a positive impact in our local community and has a strong history of ‘giving back’.
Back in 2019, SimpleClick launched Do Good Networking which blends business networking with providing local Charities with practical and monetary support.
SimpleClick funds and supports Do Good so that all money donated goes directly to the charities.
Since its inception, Do Good has organised and run events for local charities including Emmaus, RSPCA, Genesis Mencap, St. Elizabeth Hospice, ActivLives, Headway, and many more.
SimpleClick staff organise and manage the events, as well as attending at least one event a year as a delegate.

Helping customers improve their environmental impact
A big part of what we do is around systemisation and automation of business processes to improve efficiency, not only in terms of reducing operating costs, staff time and improved customer experience, but also to significantly reducing energy consumption and paper waste.
We are proud to assist our clients to reduce their carbon footprint.
