Michael Benis
Copywriter, creative director and journalist with 20 years' experience working for international blue-chip companies and advertising agencies. Close personal support provided for all business communications, from integrated advertising, corporate identity and brand-orientated product/service development support, to marketing strategy, brochures, speeches and website/e-commerce development.
I bring the insight of longstanding ethical commitments and board-level experience of the voluntary and charity sectors, including as the Chair of a charitable social enterprise.
No ethical company is too small or too large: I can provide transparent solutions for all budgets and put together committed, experienced teams to meet all needs! Call for a chat.
Ethical and Environmental Policy
Wherever possible we run a paper-free business. All paper used is recycled and produced using low-impact techniques, and all paper used or received is recycled. All plastics, textiles and card are also recycled (current provider Magpie in addition to council scheme).
All printing consumables are recycled (current supplier/provider Cartridge World).
Energy and water use is kept to a minimum, including through substantial insulation, a no stand-by policy, low-energy light bulbs and LEDs.
All electricity is from renewable sources (current provider Good Energy) and we are planning to generate our own energy using solar and wind power, with any surplus supplied to the National Grid.
Gas is purchased from an ethical supplier (Equigas from Ebico).
Website hosting by the only UK company powered solely by renewable energy (Ecological Hosting).
Telephone services are sourced from an ethical company (The Phone Co-op).
Emissions are offset planting indigenous trees in the UK and using a scheme that purchases and retires EU CO2 quotas, taking them out of circulation (Equiclimate from Ebico).
Travel is kept to a minimum using videoconferencing and VOIP technologies. Any unavoidable travel prioritises the lowest-impact solution: bicycle, public transport, motorcycle and motor car in that order.
Food and drink (vegan) is organic, local (low food miles) and fair trade wherever possible.
Clear client and supplier code covering the environment, animal and human rights, and the active promotion of creative thinking and living through business style and practice.
Any investments are in ethical funds.
Transparent business practices and pricing policies throughout.
