At Wax Digital, we believe great design shouldn’t just communicate clearly, it should contribute positively. Our mission is to blend creativity, technology, and responsibility to help businesses in complex industries work more sustainably.
Becoming a more sustainable agency isn’t a box-ticking exercise for us — it’s an ongoing journey. That’s why we’re building our roadmap towards EcoVadis certification, ensuring that everything from how we operate to who we work with meets the highest environmental, ethical, and social standards.
We’re applying the same structured, continuous-improvement mindset we use in our creative work to sustainability. Inspired by EcoVadis’ principles of evidence, transparency, and progress, we’ve started formalising our approach across four key areas:
We aim to reduce our environmental footprint through:
Remote-first operations
To cut travel and office emissions.
Cloud-based creative workflows
To minimise paper and physical waste.
Sustainable print and production partners
Prioritising FSC-certified, recycled, or low-impact materials.
Digital sustainability
Optimising websites and media for low energy use and accessibility.
Measurement
We’re currently mapping our carbon footprint and energy use to inform future reduction targets.
We believe creativity thrives on fairness and respect.
Fair freelance partnerships
Transparent rates, on-time payments, and mutual respect form the backbone of our extended team.
Inclusive collaboration
We value diverse perspectives and maintain an open, supportive environment for all contributors.
Health and wellbeing
We promote flexible working, realistic deadlines, and a positive, respectful work culture.
We take integrity seriously in every relationship – with clients, partners, and suppliers.
Honesty and transparency
In pricing, deliverables, and communication.
Data protection
Aligned with UK GDPR and client confidentiality standards.
Responsible AI use
We use AI tools ethically, with human oversight, creativity, and accountability at the core.
Anti-corruption stance
Zero tolerance for bribery or unfair competitive practices.
Our impact extends through the network of partners and suppliers we choose to work with.
Preferred supplier screening
For environmental and ethical alignment.
Local collaboration
Wherever possible to reduce transport and strengthen regional creative economies.
Supplier transparency
We’re building a sustainability register to track and verify partner commitments.
We’re currently preparing our documentation and evidence to begin the EcoVadis assessment process. This includes:
Publishing measurable goals and policies.
Gathering evidence for environmental and ethical performance.
Tracking continuous improvement across all four EcoVadis categories.
Once assessed, we’ll share our EcoVadis Scorecard and action plan publicly — holding ourselves accountable to continual progress, not perfection.
From the way we power our laptops to the partners we choose, we believe every small, intentional step contributes to a bigger, better impact.
Sustainability isn’t just something we offer — it’s how we operate.
If you’re a supplier or client who shares our sustainability values, we’d love to collaborate.
