Helping the Public Sector Design and Deliver Greener, More Inclusive Digital Services

Invuse and Digital Carbon Online Announce Strategic Partnership to Drive Greener Digital Transformation in the Public Sector

Woking, Surrey, 19 May 2025 – Invuse, a leading UK Public Sector digital transformation agency, has today announced a strategic partnership with Digital Carbon Online, the digital sustainability specialists helping organisations measure and reduce the carbon footprint of their websites and digital services.

This partnership will enable public sector organisations across local and central government, health, and education to design and deliver digital services that are not only inclusive and accessible but also environmentally sustainable – directly supporting the UK Government’s legally binding Net Zero Strategy: Build Back Greener, which commits the country to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. As public bodies face growing pressure to demonstrate measurable progress against climate goals, this partnership gives them a practical, data-driven way to embed sustainability into every stage of digital delivery — from content and design to infrastructure and optimisation.

Supporting the Public Sector in Meeting Net Zero, Accessibility and Digital Inclusion Goals

Invuse, part of InvGroup, has evolved from a user research and accessibility consultancy in 2019 into a national partner for human-centred digital transformation. With expertise spanning LocalGov Drupal, GDS-aligned content design, service design, and AI/Automation, Invuse has become a trusted supplier across the public sector. Its mission is to help organisations build digital services that work for everyone – and now, services that work better for the environment too.

Digital Carbon Online enables public bodies to analyse the carbon footprint of their websites over time, providing actionable insights that drive website carbon reductions . Their platform supports teams to reduce digital emissions through smarter content, cleaner design, and optimised technical performance – all contributing to measurable sustainability gains.

A Shared Commitment to Greener Public Services

Together, Invuse and Digital Carbon Online will provide a joint offer that integrates sustainability directly into the digital design, development, and transformation process.

From content audits and accessibility reviews to full website redesigns and AI-led service automation, customers will now benefit from practical solutions that support:

Reduced digital carbon emissions
Improved user experience and performance
Compliance with GDS, WCAG 2.2 AA and ISO 14001
Demonstrable contributions to Net Zero strategies and social value reporting

The partnership will also support public sector organisations in meeting increasing expectations from government, citizens, and auditors to operate sustainably and transparently in the digital space.

Jamie Garrett, Managing Director at Invuse, said:
“We’ve always believed the best digital services are those that are inclusive, accessible, and designed around real user needs. But in today’s climate, they must also be sustainable.

This partnership with Digital Carbon Online empowers our customers to make smarter digital decisions – reducing emissions, cutting digital waste, and improving performance – all without compromising the quality of the user experience. It’s a natural extension of our mission to help the public sector lead the way in building responsible, future-ready services.”

Scott Stonham, Founder of Digital Carbon Online, said:
“Invuse is the ideal partner to make digital sustainability mainstream in the public sector. Their track record in inclusive service design, accessibility, and user-centred transformation aligns perfectly with our mission for a more sustainable digital future.

Together, we’re helping councils and public bodies embed sustainability into every stage of digital delivery – from strategy and content to infrastructure and optimisation. It’s about building digital services that are not only usable and accessible, but low-carbon by design.”
