1% From Day One
Before I launched my own company, I helped my previous employer become a Pledge 1% member and was well aware of this community. So from day one of launching Profitable Purpose Consulting, I had three commitments written down on paper, Pledge 1%, 1% For The Planet, and certifying as a B Corp.
Since 2021, we’ve consistently donated around 6% of revenues to charity, and a combined 15% of time and money. We’ve also been a certified B Corp since 2022.
Baking this into our foundation has been instrumental in keeping our eye on the ball when it comes to our social impact strategy. We support local nonprofits working on important community issues and have been able to bring our giving back to our brand, which has been a game changer for differentiating our business from the competition.
This year, we have taken it a step father, combining our Founder’s passion for litter cleanups with our give-back strategy by collecting 10 bags of litter for every new client. This has been a fun way to promote our impact, shine a spotlight on our new clients, and break through the social media clutter.
