See how we make a positive impact
Through our collective work as a team, Buzz does more than marketing to education. We give back to our local community by supporting schools, businesses and charities.
“As a business, we want to work consciously and leave a genuine impact on the world around us. Through Buzz Does, we’re able to assess our environmental impact and take measures to improve it. We also want to work with community projects that support people and organisations around us.”
Protecting our planet has never been more important. To make sure we’re meeting and exceeding our responsibilities as a business, we’ve started to implement a number of measures to reduce our environmental impact.
- Switched to sustainable office supplies from our local zero-waste shop.
- Introduced PC power down where we switch off our PCs at the end of the week to reduce our energy consumption.
- Recycle our waste using Hubba.
- Reduce the number of our office deliveries to reduce our carbon footprint.
- Participated in the Eco-I North West Programme with the University of Liverpool to better understand our carbon footprint and develop a clear action plan to guide our next steps.
- Continue to educate our team on our environmental impact so that we each understand the steps we can take to lower our carbon footprint.
We’re passionate about giving back to our local community, whether it’s through charity fundraising, volunteering, or supporting schools and their learners.
- Support local businesses by shopping locally.
- Sponsor two local children’s football teams.
- Delivered an interactive session on marketing for Year 8 learners at Ladybridge High School, and supported them with their Bolton Rewind, Regenerate Project.
- Delivered an interactive session on persuasive writing at Coppull Parish Church School to celebrate National Careers Week.
- Delivered an interactive session on creative content for the Year 6 learners at St Barnabas Primary School.
Creating and maintaining a supportive business culture is really important to us. We’re continually looking to expand the support available for our team both personally and professionally.
- Introduced a Buzz Employee of the Month award.
- Shortlisted as finalists for the BIBA’s Employer of the Year award, a great achievement that celebrated our supportive business culture.
- Provide training and upskilling opportunities for team members to support their professional development.
Supporting our team’s mental health and wellbeing is a top priority for us. Below are some of the steps we’ve introduced so far.
- Provided team members with access to free counselling, wellbeing resources and support through the MY Healthy Advantage app and online portal.
- Offered an interest-free loan to team members to support them financially.

We love making a positive impact with Buzz Does
“A huge thank you to you and your team. The Year 6 class thoroughly enjoyed your visit.”
“It was such a great session which the children and I both enjoyed. To have a professional come into class and show the children how the skills taught in school are used in the real world was great. We always try to link our classroom learning to real-life skills but to hear it from someone else always has a greater impact on the children. Thank you so much for spending the time to plan alongside me too, as this made our learning so much more meaningful.”
“Both classes were full of praise for the workshops and the tasks they had been set. In my lunchtime club, I chatted with a group of Year 5 girls, who really enjoyed preparing their brochures.”
“Buzz Education have a real intent to develop their ESG strategy and operate more sustainably. Through funded research on Eco-I NW and a collaboration with the University of Liverpool, we delivered a sustainability framework for Buzz, with recommendations to reduce carbon in the short, medium, and long term.”
“I love supporting Buzz Education on their low carbon journey with my sustainable supplies. It’s great to see local businesses taking action to fight climate change, and I look forward to seeing where their Buzz Does strategy takes them next.”
