We’re walking the talk
For us, the old way of doing business is untenable. We can’t accept continual exploitation of our environment or the growing inequalities in our society. If we’re to be in business at all, it must be to change this system. We believe climate change needs urgent attention. And we also believe that there can be no climate justice without social justice. That’s why we’re as dedicated to community and social issues as environmental ones.
Through charitable and sponsorship partnerships, we’re putting our support behind important initiatives that align with our vision for a more sustainable and equitable future.
Each year we donate 1% of our company’s revenue to causes we support. In FY25 we donated $34k to our impact partners, and $92k in discounts and pro bono services to non-profit organisations (totalling $126k).
Through 1% for the Planet, we are extending our impact, connecting our contribution to a global network of environmental organisations doing critical work.

“Choosing Brightly was an easy decision. When we looked at Brightly there was so much that aligned with our values driven framework. We met with Mike who treated us as if we were heroes, even though we are a small NGO in the systems change space. Our business was equally as important as a large client.”
Tric Malcolm, Kore Hiakai Pou Ārarhi : Executive OfficerWe’re certified climate positive
Climate change and social justice are complex issues and hard to address with limited resources. However, Brightly is committed to improvement, rather than taking the easy option. We have pledged to the Net Zero 2030 commitment, and in February 2023 we achieved Toitū Climate Positive certification. With this certification comes a commitment to improvements to reduce emissions, using data to help guide us in continual mitigation and adaptation initiatives. This involves:
Offsetting our carbon footprint
Maintaining transparent company governance
Expanding our e-waste reduction programme and partnerships
Increasing our non-profit partnerships
Continuing to incorporate sustainable development goals into our company strategy
