We have joined the Climate Perks network
We have been busy developing our sustainable travel policy, and as part of this initiative, we’re proud to be joining the Climate Perks network helping staff choose clean travel by offering paid journey days for flight-free holidays.
From January next year, if our staff travel by coach, train or ferry instead of flying on holiday, we are giving them paid journey days, on top of their annual leave.
At Reuben Digital, we take the climate crisis seriously and are committed to being a sustainable and ethical business. Our journey to becoming a carbon net zero company has only started in 2023 but we are investing resources to make sure we are part of the leading edge of suppliers within the digital sector who are committing to reducing carbon emissions associated with IT and web-based solutions.
Climate Perks is a brilliant scheme that we have joined to encourage our employees to consider greener travel choices in their leisure time. Flying is the fastest growing source of greenhouse gas emissions globally. For those who love travelling, flying less is one of the most powerful actions we can take to protect the planet. We understand that annual leave is limited, making it difficult to choose slower transport modes - so we want to help staff live their values by ensuring flight-free travel doesn’t eat into leisure time.
We’re calling for more organisations to join us and help kickstart a movement for clean travel. Find out more about Climate Perks.

The benefits of adopting a sustainable business model
Date: 15 January 2025
Sustainable development relies on the three Ps – People, Planet and Profit - working in harmony with each other. In simple terms, this means that businesses must of course be economically profitable to survive, but not at the expense of their impact on people and the planet.

Digital technologies currently contribute to 4% of global carbon emissions. Compare this to the much-maligned global aviation industry which actually only accounts for 2.4% of carbon dioxide emissions!
