We care about our sustainability & biodiversity

At NewZapp Communications, we recognise the critical importance of environmental sustainability and are committed to integrating ecologically responsible practices into our operations. 

 

Mission Statement

To address the challenges posed by human-induced climate change and its impact on communities, we are dedicated to delivering biodiversity regeneration by converting species-poor land into wooded habitats and biodiverse landscapes. This initiative supports a carbon net-zero strategy for our clients and ourselves.

By integrating our sustainable practices with our clients, we can work together to promote environmental responsibility and achieve our shared goals for a greener future.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

As a Software as a Service (SaaS) provider, our carbon footprint is inherently smaller than many traditional industries. However, we believe that every organisation, regardless of size or sector, has a responsibility to contribute to environmental stewardship. To this end, we have taken significant steps to not only minimise our environmental impact but also to actively enhance biodiversity.

Beyond Carbon Initiative

In our pursuit of environmental excellence, NewZapp has acquired 35 acres of farmland in Devon, with plans to expand this area over time. This initiative, known as Beyond Carbon, focuses on restoring regional ecosystems and increasing biodiversity. By transforming species-poor land into wooded habitats and biodiverse landscapes, we generate carbon credits and achieve measurable biodiversity net gains. These efforts not only neutralise our carbon footprint but also contribute positively to the environment.

100% Renewable Energy-Powered Hosting

NewZapp’s cloud infrastructure is hosted on AWS data centers powered entirely by renewable energy, ensuring that the energy used to process and store communications is fully carbon neutral. This commitment to  eliminating fossil fuel-based energy consumption from our digital infrastructure, ensures that every campaign, email, and message sent through NewZapp is as environmentally responsible as possible. This also benefits customers by reducing the carbon footprint associated with their internal communications and supply chain operations.

Optimised Data Transmission to Lower Emissions

A significant yet often overlooked aspect of digital sustainability is data transmission emissions. The more data-heavy an email campaign, the higher the energy required for storage and distribution. NewZapp actively reduces this impact by: 

  • Implementing automatic image compression to minimise unnecessary data loads, reducing emissions from content transmission.
  • Encouraging content optimisation to decrease overall bandwidth consumption.
  • Efficient email rendering technologies that reduce processing loads on recipient devices, ensuring lower energy usage across the network.

By making these optimisations standard, NewZapp reduces emissions by up to 26% per year, offering a tangible reduction in environmental impact for customers.

Supporting Supply Chain Sustainability Goals

Sustainability is increasingly being measured across entire supply chains, and many organisations are working to reduce their Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions from suppliers and service providers). Choosing a digital communications provider with a proven commitment to low-carbon operations helps businesses meet ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments while maintaining seamless internal communications.

NewZapp supports its customers’ sustainability goals through:

  • Carbon-neutral infrastructure, ensuring zero emissions from digital hosting.
  • Data efficiency strategies, reducing supply chain emissions associated with network and device usage.
  • Transparency in sustainability reporting, allowing organisations to track and integrate communications-related emissions into their broader ESG assessments.
