Girlguiding Scotland Research Report

Unlike most digital agencies, we’re driven by ethics, not profit. As a co-operative and social enterprise, we’re a democratic business, owned by the workers, true to the values of the co-operative movement.

Social justice is the principle that underpins everything we do. Partners we’ve worked with comment on our values, level of engagement, and respect for the individuals involved in every project.

We cycle, we re-cycle, we buy from ethical suppliers; and our prices are fair, with no outside shareholders demanding profits.
