Our Commitment to the Community

As a social enterprise, we strive to make a positive impact on society by sharing a portion of our profits with the community. Our success is measured in impact, and this is reflected in how we spend your money.

Ten percent of our profits are dedicated towards this cause, with sixty percent of that pot going towards providing education to children from disadvantaged backgrounds through registered charities, and forty percent being utilised for creating Open-Source tools for the community. Furthermore, we conduct energy efficiency audits of various websites for free and offer pro bono workshops and masterclasses to spread knowledge.
