Policies & Disclaimers

Sustainability Policy

At Kalimat كلمات, we are profoundly committed to minimising our environmental impact by embedding sustainability into every aspect of our production and distribution.

We employ energy-efficient equipment and prioritise digital workflows to reduce waste, carefully optimising audio files to lower data consumption during streaming and downloads. Where possible, we seek to source electricity from renewable providers and select hosting platforms that demonstrate environmental responsibility. We embrace responsible equipment management, favouring repair and recycling over replacement to extend the lifecycle of our tools.

Recognising the environmental cost of travel, we prioritise remote recording and virtual collaboration, opting for sustainable travel options only when necessary. Sustainability is a continuous journey; we regularly review and refine our practices, welcoming ideas from our community to help us grow and innovate. We also aim to raise awareness by thoughtfully integrating sustainability topics into our content, encouraging listeners to join us in fostering a greener future.
