Switched On to Sustainability
How we’re making better choices for people, planet and purpose
Our size means we’re naturally nimble and agile, enabling us to ensure we make the best use of our resources while minimising waste.
As an agency that’s all about impact, we also keep an eye on the effect we have in our local community and the wider environment. We recognise the impact of cloud energy consumption and so we strive to deliver efficient, eco-friendly solutions that minimise our carbon footprint while delivering exceptional digital experiences.
If our planet is important to you too, that’s yet another reason to partner with us.
Real Impact.
Real Savings. Real Change.
More On Sustainability
From 78% in energy bill savings, to planting over 131 trees. See the results.

78% reduction in energy bills. Read more.
Since May 2023, HeightOn has been running on sunshine, smart storage and clean transport – saving 8 tonnes of CO₂ and nearly £10k.
This is what Big On Better looks like in action.
Powered by the sun
23.9 MWh generated onsite
That’s 23,877 kWh of clean energy from our rooftop solar panels – enough to power 5.5 homes for a full year, or run our business for over 2 years without grid power.
Stored, smarter
4,100 kWh of solar saved and used
Our 13.5kWh battery keeps us running through the night – reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and peak-time rates, and cutting carbon even when the sun’s not shining.
Driven by change
31,000 electric miles = 3.4 tCO₂ avoided
Our Skoda Enyaq EV replaces a diesel vehicle – helping us avoid 280,000 miles worth of emissions and saving us over £3,700 in fuel.
Real-world results
7.9 tonnes CO₂ saved
Equivalent to planting 131 trees, ditching 31,600 miles of diesel, or skipping 36 flights from London to NYC. And we’ve only just begun.
Bonus: bee-ing the change
We’re also proud sponsors of a working beehive
In partnership with Staunton Park, we’re helping protect British bees, promote biodiversity, and support sustainable food systems – with branding that’s creating a real buzz.
How we calculate our impact
Every figure in our sustainability reporting is based on the original data and real-world usage patterns shown opposite.
Where estimates or comparisons have been made – such as CO₂ savings or household electricity use – we’ve referenced publicly available sources, listed below, to ensure accuracy and clarity.
*CO₂ figures based on UK grid carbon intensity (0.23 kg CO₂/kWh, BEIS 2023) and DEFRA emissions factors for diesel vehicles.

Better for people
Our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Sustainability isn’t just about what we power – it’s about who we support. From local football teams to food banks, we believe being Big On Better means showing up for our community, too.
We focus on creating brighter futures for young people, backing grassroots sport, education, and wellbeing initiatives, and helping our local area thrive in ways that matter.
“We grew up in thriving communities. Supporting it isn’t a strategy – it’s second nature.”
Chris & Domonique, HeightOn
Loving Local
We look out for and support local community initiatives that align with our values and our vision.
Supporting Sport
We sponsor our local Football Academy, NxtGen, enabling them to encourage and advance more young people into our national sport.
We volunteer regularly to support, coach and referee for our local village team, Heathfield & Horam and help out with tournaments.
SoS Foodbank
We’re delighted to “Sponsor Our Shelves” at Hailsham Foodbank. Ensuring our local community has the support it needs during challenging times. Hailsham Foodbank, find out more
Bee-ing Eco-Aware
We are delighted to sponsor a beehive in Hertfordshire that is part of a bigger initiative to foster wildlife, protect critical habitats and promote biodiversity. Read more about Staunton Park here.
Smart Futures
We’re dedicated to supporting our local schools. We donate sports equipment, learning materials and sweet treats for the children – plus coffee and treats for our hard working teachers too.
Game On
As part of our support for grassroots football, we created 300 reusable Game On water bottles for young players across Heathfield & Horam Football Club. The initiative helps children stay hydrated, reduce single-use plastic and take a little bit of the HeightOn mindset with them to training, match days and beyond.
