Environmental Statement

At Donorfy, we’ve built a branchless, cloud software platform and, like all responsible businesses, are committed to minimising our environmental impact.

We know that fighting the climate crisis really matters to both our charity customers and our team, and we want to hold ourselves to a standard that we can all be proud of.

We also recognise the environmental challenges posed by the industry we’re in. The two most pressing concerns are:

Data Centres: Expected to contribute 3.2% of global CO2 emissions by 2025.

Travel Emissions: Including commuting and travel for on-site meetings.

Here's how we're addressing these challenges:

Data Centres

Donorfy is designed as a true cloud-native solution, which is inherently more efficient than older, on-premise solutions hosted in the cloud. Our multi-tenant architecture is up to 98% more carbon-efficient. Additionally, the choice of cloud platform plays a crucial role in environmental responsibility. We use Microsoft Azure, a platform that has been carbon-neutral since 2012 and is committed to being carbon negative by 2030.

Travel

We've virtually eliminated regular travel within our business. Our team works entirely from home, gathering only a few times a year, which means we have no office and thus a minimal commuting carbon footprint. 

We also encourage our customers to conduct meetings with us online. This not only reduces the carbon cost of travel, but also saves time and money all round. 

The vast majority of travel we do undertake is train travel, one of the greenest forms of public transport. Compared to cars and planes, train travel reduces carbon emissions by two thirds. 

Partnership with Ecologi

We’re proud to be partners with Ecologi, an organisation that funds impactful climate solutions. Through this partnership, we support reforestation and other carbon offset projects, further enhancing our commitment to a sustainable future. 

In conclusion, we understand that our responsibilities extend beyond providing software, and are dedicated to making environmentally conscious decisions that reflect the values of our customers and team.

Together, we can contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for all.
