At HeyYou! Digital, we’ve always believed that doing good business also means doing good for the world around us. That’s why we’re super excited to share that we formally align our work and values with four of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals — a global mission to create a better, fairer, more sustainable future by 2030.
Here are the goals we’re championing:
• SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy
• SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth
• SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
• SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities
These goals mirror the way we already choose to operate as a digital agency – thoughtfully, ethically and with people at the heart of everything.
Why these goals mean so much to us
Affordable & Clean Energy (SDG 7)
We might be a digital marketing agency, but we’re still mindful of the impact our work can have. All websites hosted by HeyYou! are powered using 100% renewable energy, ensuring our clients’ online presence is as green as possible. Our office space is also designed with ecological sustainability at its core – from the materials chosen, to energy, waste and resource management. We prioritise efficient digital systems, streamlined tools and cleaner processes to help reduce unnecessary energy use across everything we do.
Decent Work & Economic Growth (SDG 8)
Supporting SMEs is baked into our DNA. We build our services to be accessible, supportive and genuinely helpful to small organisations that are trying to grow sustainably.
As founder Hannah Edwards says:
“As a small SME owner myself, I know how important it is to build a business that can sustainably support its team, clients and community – I’m proud that HeyYou! Digital is aligned with responsible growth and decent work culture for all.”
Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure (SDG 9)
Digital marketing doesn’t have to be confusing, scary or inaccessible. We’re big believers in making modern, high-quality marketing simple and achievable – backed by smart systems, transparent processes and a whole lot of human warmth. We love helping clients build strong, future-proof foundations that won’t let them down.
Sustainable Cities & Communities (SDG 11)
We support businesses of all shapes and sizes – from charities to local organisations to international distributors – and each one plays a part in building stronger, more resilient communities. When local SMEs thrive, whole communities thrive. And we’re here to help make that happen.

Our founder, Hannah Edwards, shares what this milestone means to her:
“It fills me with pride that HeyYou! Digital is formally aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. For me, running an SME means every decision matters – from the team we hire to the clients we work with – and I believe it’s our responsibility to shape a future that’s fair and sustainable.”
“Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a business approach. We’re here for the long-game: helping clients and communities thrive, using digital marketing as a force for good.”
