Much of our work focuses on communicating environmental, health and social issues, and we consider the environment and society to be beneficiaries of our work.
But it’s not just the outcomes of our work that make a difference – it’s how we work, too. We recognise the less visible impacts of our work, particularly the energy use and accessibility challenges associated with digital content. We consider environmental and social needs at every stage of our work to make our solutions as accessible and energy-efficient as possible.
Our head office is an accredited sustainable business through the ACT Government’s Sustainable Business Program. We also support remote and flexible working arrangements to reduce the need for travel and to help our team maintain a healthy work–life balance.
This extreme macro photograph by Steve Young captures the iridescent detail of Elaeomyxa cerifera, a species of Myxomycetes found in New South Wales, Australia.
Biotext’s specialist expertise and curiosity about science and complex information are reflected in both this highly technical, precise form of photography and the Myxomycetes themselves.
E. cerifera forms intricate networks to explore and understand its environment. In a similar way, we help our clients by exploring evidence and data with curiosity to find accurate and meaningful ways to build understanding through communication.
