GIVING

Charitable Donations

Zube is formally committed to donating a minimum of 2% of annual companyrevenue to charitable partners each year, calculated on turnover rather than profit.In FY2025, this amounted to £5,000 against total revenue of £183,544 —equivalent to 2.72% of revenue, exceeding our published commitment.

We support Student Minds (the UK’s student mental health charity) and FRANKWater (providing safe water and sanitation to communities in need). Additional partners may be added at the discretion of Zube’s directors, provided they holdregistered charity status.

Student Minds

Registered charity, England & Wales (No. 1142783). Supported through in-kind servicesand donations.

Frank Water

Registered charity, England & Wales (No. 1121273). Supported as a RainMaker Clubpartner, with a minimum annual donation commitment.

ENVIRONMENT

Water & Resource Management

As a water-intensive business by nature, we’ve made deliberate choices in ourequipment and processes to manage water use responsibly at our facility.

Water-efficient Machines

We use commercial washingmachines from LG and Miele,selected in part for their water-efficiency performance.

Cold-wash cycles

Used where appropriate for fabricand soil level, reducing both waterheating energy and water use perload.

Water-efficient Machines

Reduces limescale build-up,improving washing performance andmachine efficiency over time.

Water-efficient Machines

Water meters are read regularly totrack consumption at our facility.

GOVERNANCE

Supplier & Partner Screening

We formalized a Supplier Social & Environmental Screening Policy in July 2026,setting out structured requirements for reviewing our significant suppliers on good governance/ethics and third-party certifications. This process is applied at onboarding and reviewed at least annually. 

COMMUNITY

Community Engagement

Beyond financial giving, we open our facility to the local community — including free laundry services alongside pool and retro games at our unit — and provide discounted laundry services for disabled students and students from low-income households. 

Note:

Zube is a young, growing business, and several of the practices above — including our formal charitable giving commitment and supplier screening policy — were only formalized in 2025–2026. We’ve aimed to describe our current position honestly rather than overstate our history. This page will be updated annually as our practices and data mature.
