Go To Truth & Transparency
Our online presence lets us reach & engage with people like never before, but it can also perpetuate & amplify systemic inequality, exclusion & injustice. At the core of an ethical digital strategy are the principles of Accessibility, Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.
Go To Access & Inclusion
Digital products & services can create delightful experiences, but they can also hurt people’s wellbeing by hijacking their attention & exploiting their vulnerabilities. The ways we are interacting with technology are relevant not only to our audiences, but also to ourselves, our teams & our collaborators. We need to be conscious of how they help or hinder our overall well-being.
Go To Health & Wellbeing
Thanks to new technologies we can tailor our communications to provide relevant & valuable content for our audience, based on the data they share. With the power of personalization comes the responsibility of respecting & safeguarding our audiences’ information.
Go To Privacy & Security
Digital spaces allow us to reduce costs & breach distances, but these technologies also live in the material world, consuming resources & impacting people & planet. We have a responsibility to make informed & conscious decisions about our digital practices & the impact our operations have on the planet.
