Accentable Services Joins the Pledge 1% Movement, Commits to Donating More Than 1% of Profit to Organizations Providing Humanitarian Assistance
Accentable Services, a provider of over-the-phone interpreting services and language access solutions, announced today its commitment to donate more than 1% of the company’s profit each year. These donations will support the work of organizations providing humanitarian assistance, such as hunger relief, medical assistance and disaster relief.
Accentable Services made its first donations to the organizations Feeding America and Doctors Without Borders.
According to the Global Humanitarian Overview 2022 from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 1 out of 29 people worldwide require humanitarian assistance.
“Accentable Services doesn’t just believe in helping people to communicate every day,” said Sarah Rogers, Operations. “People are what our business is about. Our team believes in doing what we can to help both here in the United States and around the world. That’s why it was so important for us to join this initiative and contribute to organizations that are making a real difference for people.”
Accentable Services has joined Pledge 1%, a global movement that galvanizes companies of all sizes and stages to create a positive social impact through their business. They have united with over 17,000 companies that have already committed to pledge 1% of their product, profit, equity and/or staff time to nonprofits, nongovernmental organizations and/or charities of their choosing. “We are excited to make this commitment,” said Ms. Rogers.
Accentable Services encourages other companies, no matter where they’re located or what industry they’re in, to take the pledge too and leverage their business as a force for good.
