Transparency is our policy
As marketers ourselves, we know that you need to feel comfortable entrusting your chosen marketing provider with your most valuable asset, data. To gain that trust we’ve invested heavily in technology and resources to make the security and privacy of our platform foolproof.

Security at our core
At Dotdigital we take your security, and ours, seriously. We’ve put the necessary measures in place to keep your data safe and secure. We’ve implemented an ISO 27001 certified Information Security Management System (ISMS) which identifies and manages risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. You might find our management-approved Information Security Policy useful.

Environment and Sustainability
We all have an obligation to act swiftly and decisively to address the climate emergency. With this in mind Dotdigital has implemented an ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management System (EMS) to monitor and continuously improve our environmental performance. Our EMS has been externally audited by a UKAS accredited certification body – Alcumus ISOQAR.
The Dotdigital platform runs on infrastructure that utilizes 100% renewable energy. This means that a large chunk of our business activity is already having a minimal impact on the Earth. On top of this, we’ve made sure that all of our measured Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and selected selected Scope 3 emissions (including business travel, remote workers, employee commuting, major cloud infrastructure providers, data centers, and transmission and distribution losses) have been offset, making us carbon neutral. Details of our offset methodology can be found in our public Annual Report, which includes details for Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR). (All Annual Reports can be found on the Dotdigital Group PLC website.)
We also want to make sure the green choice is the easy choice for everyone who works here. Employees are able to take advantage of our Cycle to Work scheme, public transport loans, and volunteer days to use towards good causes. They may additionally claim a Wellbeing Reward so they can, for example, get started growing fruit and vegetables at home.
There is always room for improvement – meet Project Dotgreen. Dotgreen is the banner representing Dotdigital’s efforts to conduct its business with minimal negative impact on the environment and to promote positive environmental behaviors.

Green business is close to our hearts. Dotdigital’s core proposal of digital over physical marketing allows for a much greener operation within a highly-optimized electronic infrastructure running on green energy.
