1. Our Commitment
At Host Media, sustainability is built into everything we do. As a digital-first hosting company, we are committed to minimising our environmental impact through responsible infrastructure choices, continuous efficiency improvements, and direct contributions to climate-positive initiatives.
We believe that technology should empower progress, not cost the planet. Our environmental approach focuses on measurable action rather than empty claims.
2. Environmental Principles
We operate according to the following core principles:
- Carbon-Efficient Infrastructure: We use energy-efficient, low-PUE data centres and prioritise providers with strong environmental credentials.
- Digital-First, Minimal Waste: Fully remote operations allow us to drastically reduce commuting, travel, and physical resource use.
- Active Climate Contribution: We support monthly tree-planting programmes and environmental initiatives that create real-world impact.
- Continuous Improvement: We regularly review our operations to identify opportunities to further reduce emissions and environmental impact.
3. Current Sustainability Actions
- Hosting infrastructure selected for energy efficiency and low PUE.
- No physical office, reducing travel and on-site energy consumption.
- Monthly tree-planting contributions to support global reforestation efforts.
- Support for UK and local community charities driving positive environmental and social change.
4. Responsible Supplier & Partner Standards
We choose to work with suppliers who reflect our values around sustainability and responsible operations. Preference is given to providers who:
- Use renewable or high-efficiency energy sources
- Hold environmental certifications or public sustainability commitments
- Demonstrate long-term environmental responsibility in their operations
5. Transparency & Public Reporting
We publicly share information on our sustainability efforts and environmental initiatives via our website and company communications. As we evolve, we plan to publish more structured updates on:
- Impact of our tree planting initiatives
- Hosting infrastructure energy efficiency improvements
- Long-term environmental goals and progress
6. Governance & Review
The CEO is responsible for overseeing this Sustainability Policy and ensuring continuous alignment with our environmental values. This policy is reviewed annually and updated as our environmental commitments evolve.
