Our Sustainability
Sustainability at TCB
At TCB, sustainability is not a marketing initiative or a compliance exercise. It is a practical consideration in how we operate as a business, how we work with our clients, and how we select our partners.
As a multilingual B2B business development agency, our impact is shaped less by physical infrastructure and more by how we structure our work, manage travel, and make operational decisions. From the outset, we have adopted a low-impact, remote-first operating model that minimises unnecessary travel and commuting while supporting a flexible, globally distributed team.
We recognise that no business operates without environmental impact. Our focus is therefore on reducing impact where possible, making informed choices about suppliers and technology, and investing in credible environmental initiatives that address both direct and indirect emissions. Where impact cannot be eliminated entirely, we seek to mitigate it responsibly and transparently.
A measured, evidence-based approach
As a small business, we take a pragmatic approach to sustainability. We estimate our operational carbon footprint using established third-party tools and review our calculations annually using consistent assumptions. To account for both direct and indirect impact, we offset more carbon than our estimated direct footprint through verified environmental projects.
Alongside this, we work with partners and initiatives that prioritise transparency, accountability, and independently verified outcomes, including reforestation and marine conservation projects.
Supporting client sustainability requirements
Many of our clients operate under formal sustainability, ESG, or supplier-governance frameworks. We are accustomed to working within these requirements and regularly complete detailed supplier sustainability questionnaires covering environmental impact, governance, and working practices.
Our approach is practical rather than performative. We focus on maintaining a low-impact operating model, documenting our policies and actions clearly, and responding to client-specific sustainability criteria where required.

For clients, partners, or stakeholders who would like a fuller picture, we publish an annual Sustainability Report outlining our approach, activities, and priorities in more detail.
