At CloudPlanet, we don’t just talk the talk—we recycle the paper it’s printed on. With a deep-rooted commitment to community, sustainability, and ethical business, we’re proving that tech companies can have a heart as well as a hard drive. From reducing our carbon footprint to capping director salaries (yes, really), we’re on a mission to make the cloud a little greener and the world a little fairer.

CSR: More Than a Buzzword

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) isn’t just a line in our handbook—it’s the backbone of how we operate. Our managing director (LinkedIn) brings decades of experience in digital innovation and community service to the helm, ensuring that our ethical compass always points true north (or at least somewhere neartted to doing business the right way.

Green, Grounded, and Gloriously Geeky

Let’s start with the planet. We’ve taken a firm stance on environmental sustainability because, frankly, there’s no Planet B. That means reducing greenhouse emissions, cutting down on single-use plastics, and recycling like our lives depend on it—because, let’s face it, they probably do. Our cloud might be virtual, but our impact on the planet is very real, and we’re doing everything we can to make it a positive one.

We’re proud to partner with 100% green, UK-based upstream providers for all our hosting and datacentre needs. Every byte you store with us is powered by renewable energy. It’s not just a pledge—it’s our practice. And yes, we’re the kind of company that gets excited about compostable coffee pods and reusable cable ties. Geeky? Absolutely. Necessary? More than ever.

Fair Finance: Putting People Before Profit

Financial responsibility is another cornerstone of our CSR strategy. We cap director salaries and shareholder bonuses (yes, really!) to ensure that profits don’t just float to the top. Instead, we reinvest in our people, our technology, and our communities.

And here’s the big news: we’re restructuring CloudPlanet from a traditional Ltd into an employee-owned Community Interest Company (CIC). This isn’t just a line in a manifesto—it’s a structural shift that locks fairness into our DNA. By becoming a CIC, we’re legally committing to reinvest profits for community benefit and employee empowerment. It’s tech for good, hard-coded into our operating model.

Living Wages, Real Lives

We’re proud of our commitment to pay our employees a living wage—and soon, they’ll be more than employees. As we transition to an employee-owned CIC, every Planeteer will have a stake in the mission. It’s a simple idea: if you work hard, you should be able to live well and have a voice in shaping the future.

Whether they're a developer in Cardiff or a support specialist in Carmarthen, each employee-owner is part of a team that cares. That’s not just inclusion; that’s transformation.

Community at the Core

And let’s not forget our roots. Todd’s extensive voluntary work across West Wales—supporting everything from neurodiversity advocacy to local radio—has shaped CloudPlanet’s ethos. We’re not just a tech company; we’re a social enterprise in spirit, if not in legal structure (yet!). We use our skills and resources to uplift the communities we serve.

From sponsoring local events to offering pro bono support for charities, we’re committed to making a difference where it matters most: right here at home. Our Wales AI Literacy initiative is just one example of how we’re blending innovation with inclusion, ensuring that small businesses and community groups aren’t left behind in the digital revolution.

Tech for Good: A Future Worth Building

In short, CloudPlanet is proof that you can run a high-performance cloud company without losing sight of the ground beneath your feet. We’re building a future where technology and responsibility go hand in hand—and we’re doing it with a smile, a spreadsheet, and a reusable coffee cup.

Our mission is simple: make tech work for people, not the other way around. That means products designed for accessibility, services priced for fairness, and strategies built for sustainability. It’s not about chasing trends; it’s about setting standards.

Why It Matters

The tech industry has a reputation for disruption—but too often, that disruption leaves communities fractured and values forgotten. We’re here to change that narrative. By embedding responsibility into every decision, we’re proving that innovation doesn’t have to come at the cost of integrity.

So, whether you’re a client, a collaborator, or just a curious reader, know this: when you work with CloudPlanet, you’re part of something bigger than business. You’re part of a movement to make technology kinder, greener, and fairer.
