One of Code42’s core values is to leave the world a better place, and Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to give back to communities and organizations we care about. To bring that value to life throughout the year, we implemented the Pledge 1% commitment, a global movement that encourages companies to integrate giving back into the core of their business.
Through Pledge 1%, we give back to the communities where our employees live and work by donating:
As part of our commitment, we have created two distinct entities within Code42 for giving back:
While these two entities are separate, they intertwine in a key way. Through volunteering efforts organized by the Code42 Cares Team, Code42 meets the immediate needs of the communities in which employees live and work, and the charitable giving of the foundation is working to change the systems that make it necessary to meet the immediate needs of some of our neighbors. Both activities are critical to the health and wellbeing of our communities.
For example, Code42 Cares routinely donates volunteer time for packing food, cleaning up community spaces, building snack packs and care kits and doing rehab work for transitional housing while the Code42 Foundation’s annual Deep Thought Grant is awarded to organizations doing transformational work to disrupt systems of perpetual inequities for our most marginalized community members. Most recently, the Foundation supported All Square, a nonprofit social enterprise that invests in innovative programs and ideas for people affected by mass incarceration.
At Code42, we are always excited to have the opportunity to give back to our communities and are grateful to be in the company of thousands of businesses throughout the world who are part of Pledge 1%.
