Make Hay: Ethically Accredited Website Design & Hosting

What does Make Hay do?

We are pleased to announce that Make Hay, which provides ethical web design and website hosting services, has been awarded Ethical Accreditation from The GOOD Shopping Guide. This achievement follows a thorough assessment of Make Hay’s policies and business practices by our research team. As a result, Make Hay has earned a spot in our prestigious list of the Top 200 Ethical Businesses.

Make Hay offers website design for charities, non-profits and ethical businesses and also provides 100% renewable-powered website hosting through its sister brand Green Hosting.

How is Make Hay pioneering a greener internet?

Make Hay addresses a growing environmental problem in our increasingly digital world. According to recent research, internet usage and its associated gadgets and systems account for up to 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the aviation industry. The dawn of AI brings with it even more concern that the land, resources, water and energy used to power data centres will only propel us further into the climate crisis.

Thankfully, Make Hay is offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional website design and hosting. Green Hosting offers 100% renewable energy-powered website servers using solar, wind and sea power. This structure reduces the carbon footprint of websites significantly.

How does Make Hay conduct ethical business?

Make Hay doesn’t just take care of the planet, it also does good by people too. Partnering with Renewable World, Make Hay donates a percentage of sales to support their work. This charity partnership helps to provide renewable energy systems and clean water to people in need. You can read more about this partnership here.

As Make Hay intentionally works with charities, non-profits and ethical businesses, we have awarded it with our prestigious Ethical Innovator title. Make Hay has worked with wildlife trusts, local councils, educational institutions and charities such as Family Action.

What does Ethical Accreditation mean?

At The GOOD Shopping Guide, we are proud to endorse Make Hay for its commitment to sustainable business practices. We look forward to seeing how Make Hay will continue to lead the way towards a greener future.

Make Hay’s achievement of Ethical Accreditation is a testament to its strong values and commitment to sustainability.
