The tide has turned. 87% of consumers will have a more positive image of a company that supports social or environmental issues and 88% will be more loyal to a company that supports social or environmental issues (Forbes).
Consumers’ spending decisions are increasingly influenced by their perceptions of a brand’s green credentials. A recent study by Forbes revealed that 92% of customers will be more likely to trust a company that supports social or environmental issues.
Reputable sustainability credentials help firms win public tenders. Larger companies and public sector are looking to their supply chain for as they face pressure to strengthen their environmental credentials.
Thanks to the team and to the Eco-Friendly Web Alliance for making this happen. Three of our websites have met the standard and we are working on the rest. A tangible example of our support for the Race to Net Zero.

We are thrilled to announce that the Carlisle Brass website has been certified as environmentally friendly by the EFWA. It’s especially important that companies in e-commerce and others with a website, have a sustainable approach. This is something that we’d definitely recommend to businesses and other organisations in the UK and globally.

The Eco-Friendly Web Alliance has certified The Ecology Centre website as climate-positive, certifying that it emits less than 1 g of carbon for each page view. As part of the criteria, we’ve committed to switching to renewable energy to power the website and taking responsibility for website carbon emissions through carbon sequestration. We are the first charity in Fife, Scotland to gain this accreditation.

Definitely a step in the right direction – I didn’t know that the internet is responsible for nearly 4% of global carbon emissions and as we are on our #racetozero drive, it made sense to ensure that the #carbonfootprint of the Efeca website was as low as possible. Thanks for helping us first understand the carbon footprint of our website and then helping us reduce those emissions affiliated with it.
Operations Director, Efeca
Really love the work the Alliance is doing, in creating more awareness of the huge carbon impact of IT and digital infrastructure. It is important that we reduce the carbon emissions of the website and work towards climate-positivity. The website will be better from a performance and loading speed too in the process. We are delighted that our Organisation for Responsible Business and other websites are accredited as eco-friendly.

Eco-Friendly Web Alliance (EFWA) team is changing our world, one website at a time. The EFWA has come up with a powerful question. Imagine if we had an energy performance standard for web sites similar to the energy performance standards we apply to buildings. What would that look like? EFWA solution leads us a project we can share: reduce the carbon footprint of the Internet.
