We are now a proud member of Pledge 1%, a global movement dedicated to reshaping the role of companies in society. This initiative of Pledge 1%, aims to establish a new standard for corporate social responsibility, regardless of a company’s size or stage. We’re part of this movement with 18,000+ companies across 120 countries, allocating 1% of our product, profit, and more to charitable causes.
Our decision to take part in this initiative is driven by several reasons:
Enhancing Brand Reputation
As part of our social responsibility, we uphold our core values of integrity and community support. By increasing our efforts to give back to society, we strengthen our brand identity as a company that prioritizes making a meaningful difference in the world. Through active participation in philanthropic activities and support for charitable causes, we not only enhance our brand reputation but also inspire others to join us in our mission of creating positive social impact.
Driving Innovation
Engaging in a partnership with Pledge 1% fosters a culture of innovation. It encourages our teams to think creatively about how our products and services can address social challenges, leading to new opportunities for growth and impact. We believe that by aligning our goals with meaningful social impact initiatives, we can drive innovation and create lasting positive change.
Fostering Employee Satisfaction
We understand that employees are more likely to feel proud and motivated to work for a company that prioritizes social responsibility. Investing in this aspect can significantly boost employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention.
Our Head of Professional Services, Kevin Paul, said, “We partnered with Pledge 1% to harness our employees’ passion for social impact, with a current focus on environmental sustainability, educational programs, and gender equality, inspired by the leadership of industry giants, Atlassian and Salesforce.” This just means that our partnership with Pledge 1% reflects our commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Our Previous Initiatives
Our recent inclusion in Pledge 1% strengthens our dedication to social responsibility through our previous initiatives. Firstly, the Dive into Tech: The Ribbonfish Innovation Challenge, where the top five finalists developed innovative applications using Salesforce. The three winners received cash prizes for their innovative solutions and an opportunity to work with us through a contract. Additionally, we sponsored Women of the World (WOW) Soiree in Manila. It is a program and community that empowers women to make a meaningful impact in their careers and lives. This coming June, we’ll also sponsor a Soirée in London. Lastly, we donate to charities such as WWF, Marie Curie, Clic Sargent, and NSPCC. These contributions helps important causes like environmental conservation, cancer care, and child protection. Overall, with our initiatives, it reflects our dedication to creating a positive and lasting impact on society.
Joining Pledge 1% not only benefits us but also contributes to positive change worldwide. As we progress, we invite you to support and join us on this journey toward making a difference. Let’s create a meaningful impact in shaping a better tomorrow. Together, we can create a brighter future for all. Stay updated with us for more insights into our initiatives!
