Communications with conscience...
Our commitment to ESG
At ETC, we believe that responsible business is simply good business.
Our approach to ESG is grounded in practical action, transparency and a genuine commitment to making a positive impact for our people, our clients and the wider community.
Environment
As a small organisation that offers our people remote working options, our environmental impact is naturally lower than many other businesses. But climate action still matters to us and the future we all share.
We are at the early stages of our climate journey, but we are committed to continuous improvement and aim to embed sustainable practices into everyday operations.
To reduce our footprint, we have:
- Signed up to the SME Climate Hub and are committed to reaching net zero by 2040
- Started the process of setting a Science Based Target
- Embraced hybrid working to reduce our business travel. This also supports our commitment to flexibility and family-friendly work policies
- Chosen office premises in London and Liverpool with recycling stations to minimise waste, eco-friendly cleaning programmes to reduce water use, and energy-efficient policies. The building management company at both locations is committed to embedding sustainability within its supply chain and is achieving year-on-year energy and carbon reductions that are submitted to the Carbon Disclosure Programme
- Committed to working with suppliers with good sustainability credentials. We only print client materials when necessary and our preferred printers use vegetable inks, recyclable finishes, biodegradable film wrap and responsibly sourced paper stocks (eg, FSC approved). They also purchase 100% renewable energy and only use local suppliers
- Selected a pension provider that is actively reducing its carbon emissions and offers an Ethical Fund
We encourage colleagues to make thoughtful, sustainable choices in their day‑to‑day work. Small actions, multiplied across our team, can create meaningful impact.
Social responsibility
We believe that everyone deserves the chance to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. That belief shapes how we work and who we support.
ETC Communications is proud to partner with Go Beyond, a Devon‑based charity that provides countryside breaks for children and young people facing serious challenges such as bereavement, caring responsibilities, poverty, abuse or bullying.
Go Beyond gives young people the space to step away from daily pressures, rediscover their confidence and imagine a brighter future.
Our support includes:
- An annual financial donation to help sustain the charity’s vital work
- Volunteering opportunities for colleagues to contribute directly while developing new skills
Governance
Good governance underpins everything we do. We are committed to operating with integrity, transparency and accountability.
Our governance approach includes:
- Clear policies and processes that guide ethical decision‑making
- A culture that encourages responsibility, openness and continuous improvement
- A commitment to aligning our work with the expectations of our clients, partners and communities
