Niki Adams
VP of Solution Engineering, Bounteous
Kansas City, MO
If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?
Multi-tasker: I am responsible for juggling between being a mom / wife, being in the Air Force Reserves and my day to day job. This requires the ability to ensure all areas have the attention they need while still getting tasks across all other areas completed. Often, this comes with guilt when one area is less focused on until I am able to refocus. It is a hard balance to handle, but it can be done!
Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?
It is important for corporate leaders to prioritize social impact. Bounteous does this by sticking by our beliefs and limiting who we partner or have as Clients if they do not fit into our beliefs and standards.
Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?
Bounteous has always supported my military service by providing me with the days off as necessary with zero hassle. (This is not always the case.). Additionally, they always ask where they can support during my time away. In addition to that, Bounteous supports community service days where they allow employees to take time off to dedicate directly to their communities.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
If you are invited to the table, take your seat. Meaning, if you have been invited to a meeting, a conference, a conversation… note that there is a purpose and you deserve to be there. Often times, I hear individuals state they have imposter syndrome and are fearful to speak up with they are “sitting at the table.” It is important to know that if you were invited, you are meant to be there with purpose.
If you are invited to the table, take your seat.
This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?
Develop mentorship programs. I always advise that there is ALWAYS someone in the position you want to be at and there is always someone that is the position you were in. Meaning, that we should always be a mentor and we should always have a mentor. It is important to allow for this within an organization. I’ve been approached many times by newer employees or their male managers to ask if I can be their mentor within their oganization. I’ve also worked to always have a mentor.
What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?
I have so many. One is “Never take no as an answer.” If it is truly something you want, keep trying. Recently, I requested a certain position at my work of which I was told no and it was going to be given to another individual. At first, I took that answer, but after thinking about it realized that I needed to make a case of why I should be selected. I created a presentation with my strategy for the position and why I was the person to be selected. I had my mentor and additional people in leadership review my thoughts to provide feedback. I was prepared and went in to set my case. I ended up be awarded the position. Huge lesson to never give up.
Another one that it represents is that you decide your career path. I have had several members of the team ask me “what does my future hold” and I can only say “You decide what your future holds and I will work to fight with you to get you there.”
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
This year holds a lot of opportunities for our company in terms of where our practice is leading, who we aim to bring in to support these desires and to integrate our global delivery with North America. I am looking forward to seeing the progress of our Salesforce practice and the capabilities we can deliver.

Amy Wendel
Senior Director, Global Head of Corporate Responsibility, GoTo
Boston, MA, USA
If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?
Steadfast.
Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?
Of course. Companies should prioritize social impact because it not only benefits society and the environment, but also enhances brand reputation, employee morale, and long-term sustainability.
Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?
Yes to both! Through GoTo’s Philanthropy and Volunteering program, GoTo Gives, we are out in our local communities each month. From India to Guatemala to Boston where we are headquartered, GoGetters across the globe serve others—whether that is planting trees, keeping senior citizens company or helping youth access STEM education.
My favorite organization in Boston is St Francis House, the largest day shelter in Massachusetts, where I serve homeless guests every year on Christmas.
And 14 years ago I founded Project MEMA, a grassroots nonprofit organization that supports education and healthy living for youth in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Giving back is a big part of my work life and personal life. Kindness matters.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
My first boss (you know who you are!) in French would tell me to “laisser tomber” and that has been with me for 20+ years. It can be hard when steadfast is your word—but knowing when to let it go is probably the single most important piece of advice I’ve heard yet.
It can be hard when steadfast is your word—but knowing when to let it go is probably the single most important piece of advice I’ve heard yet.
This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?
To make workplaces more inclusive for women, companies can implement policies that promote gender diversity, provide equal opportunities for career advancement, offer mentorship, sponsorship (this a great one and often more impactful that mentorship), and support programs, address unconscious bias, and create a culture that values and respects the contributions of women.
What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?
Think about how you can upskill each year and prioritize your communication abilities.
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
So much! This International Women’s Day, I’ll be in Guatemala with Natün Guatemala, a wonderful organization that advances education, nutrition & health and economic development, through community-led initiatives which build on existing resources and knowledge. It will be my 4th trip to visit them and I can’t wait.
At GoTo, I’m excited to continue our work! I’m celebrating 10 years at the company this year which is hard to believe. Onwards!
Beyond that—more travel, yoga, golf, and time with friends, family and my very sweet nieces.
Eugenie Addison
CEO, Senzi.Me
Jamaica
If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?
Visionary entrepreneur.
You should do something you are passionate about where can use personal deepest of losses can come the greatest of victories, and that hope and hard work can indeed change the world, one breath at a time.
Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?
Social impact creates opportunities that are otherwise unavailable to the minorities or underprivileged. Previous research has shown that racial and ethnic minorities and lower-income groups are at higher risk of premature death from exposure to PM2.5 air pollution than other population and income groups.
From a young age, I was intimately familiar with the harsh realities of airborne diseases. The loss of my father and aunt to chronic bronchitis left deep scars but also sparked a burning desire within me. I wanted to find a way to prevent others from suffering the same fate especially within minorities. This passion led me to do post-doctoral research about Airbourne diseases. I combined the love for science with the latest in technology, and Senzi.Me was born. This wasn’t just another tech gadget; it was a life-saving tool. Using artificial intelligence and nanotechnology, Senzi.Me could detect pathogens and bacteria in the air; even before people showed any symptoms.
Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?
Volunteering your time to support a cause you’re passionate about allows you to immerse yourself in your community. By connecting with people dedicated to bettering the world, you gain insights into how the world works.
This unique sense of purpose often extends to other areas of your life. Senzi.Me’s success story is about giving back to our community where we pledge each month to give necessary resources to children homes in Jamaica, we do not measure our success on the number of contracts it won or the technology it developed. It’s about the lives it touched. It’s the kind of impact that can’t be measured in dollars and cents.
As we grow and scale we plan expand and build an organization solely give back help more persons that are from Jamaica and other parts of the world.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
You should do something you are passionate about where can use personal deepest of losses can come the greatest of victories, and that hope and hard work can indeed change the world, one breath at a time.
Author: Pledge 1% team
At Pledge 1%, we work to inspire, empower, and amplify the social impact efforts of companies and individuals around the world. And over the last 10 years, over 18,000 members joined us in taking the pledge and evangelizing the idea that leveraging corporate assets for good is good for the world and good for business.
Of course, taking the pledge is just the first step. And real impact comes when these pledges come to life.
This year we launched what will become a regular Pledge 1% Member Survey to better understand how we are doing as a movement, what our members value, and how Pledge 1% can better support their journey toward creating positive change.
I’m excited to be able to share a few key takeaways from the survey and outline a few actionable steps we’re taking to enhance our alignment with member needs.
Key Takeaways
Most companies are actively fulfilling their pledge – with a focus on volunteering.
- 82% companies say they are actively working to fulfill their pledge
Taking a pledge is an important first step, but the real challenge lies in turning that commitment into action. Remarkably, 82% of companies that have joined Pledge 1% are actively fulfilling their pledges, channeling their efforts into a variety of impactful social programs. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the time pledge is the most popular pledge type with most companies supporting activities related to volunteering. This trend mirrors the broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) landscape, where employee engagement programs are highly accessible for companies of all sizes and stages.
Most companies report strong support for social impact
Despite recent headlines suggesting companies are pulling back from social impact, our survey found that members actually have strong support from their leadership and employees for integrating impact into their business:
- 66% companies report that senior leadership is highly committed to social impact programs
- 75% companies have social impact goals
- 75% companies align their social impact and business goals
- 68% companies say Leadership + Employees are aware of their social impact goals
- 68% companies say that employees know they have taken the pledge
Most companies are helping to grow the movement
Pledge 1% members aren’t just embracing social impact—they’re actively spreading the word.
- 60% of respondents said that they had discussed the value of taking the pledge in the last 6 months.
Pledge 1% members are seeing the value in embedding impact into their companies and they are evangelizing their success with peers. This is how exponential change happens!
While overall satisfaction with Pledge 1% programs is good, the survey revealed a few areas of potential growth.
In the survey, we included a few questions to help us better understand members’ needs and how well Pledge 1% is meeting them. And while our Net Promoter and CSAT scores were high, we also discovered that less than half of our members were actively accessing our resources and community. While many expressed interest in joining communities of practice or accessing community, few had actually done so.
Our call to action: Ensure Pledge 1% resources and programs are more accessible and easier to find and share. Provide enablement and advice on how to add additional pledge types as your impact programs mature.
Our call to action: Strengthen advocacy resources for members to help expand our audience and grow the movement.
Most companies agreed that seeing influential brands and CEOs advocating for the integration of impact into business was most helpful in growing the movement.
Our call to action: Lean into highlighting stories of impact and thought leadership from our leading companies and CEOs.
Thank You for Your Feedback
We are deeply grateful to every member who participated in this survey. Your insights not only highlight the strengths of our movement but also guide us toward meaningful improvements.
Together, we’re building a future where giving back is a fundamental part of every business. Stay tuned for updates as we implement your suggestions and continue to innovate to support your journey toward creating positive change.

Respondent Demographics
The survey reached over 8,000 members through email, newsletters, and social channels. We received 228 unique responses representing 226 distinct companies, offering a diverse snapshot of our membership:
- Company Size: 79% of respondents were from companies with fewer than 250 employees.
- Business Type: 56% represented private companies.
- Roles: 46% of respondents were CEOs or founders, while 14% were dedicated social impact practitioners.
- Industry: Responses skewed heavily toward tech and tech-adjacent sectors, reflecting the broader makeup of our membership.
Veronique Chayer
Director, Strategic Communications and External Relations, Previan
Quebec City, Canada
If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?
I am driven! To me, that is the best word to combine my high energy and mu overall motivation. And I believe my drivenness is closely linked to my desire of creating impact: in mu personal life, in my professional life, in my community.
Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?
I believe there is a strong connection between social impact and vision/purpose. Down the line, our team members are willingly taking part in our activities because they feel connected to how we present ourselves to the world. Social impact, and the way we are intertwined with our people, our communities and our environment plays a big role in the big “why” we do things and why people chose to be on that professional journey with us.
Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?
Definitely! The Community Month is a not-to-be-missed event at Previan. Just last year, in September, over 30 volunteering activities were organized by my team throughout the globe. We’re talking parks cleaning, food banks, toy-drive, restauration of marshes. The Pledge 1% – Time Portion, is materialized via the Community Month and other volunteering activities that employee can decide to take part in. On my side, apart from the activities we organize, I donate blood and I do mentorship with younger women.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
Be Kind. Be Fair. Be You. (in French, by a former boss)
This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?
It is a very wide thing, and a very important thing. Of course, it starts with the creation of safe and respectful work environments, with zero-tolerance policies (discrimination, harassment, etc.).
And, maybe a little bit of my best piece of advice could be applied: Be kind (family-friendly benefits, flexible work policies, foster culture of mentorship, etc.), Be fair (equal pay policies, gender diversity in hiring and promotion, development programs for women, etc.) and Be You (embrace diversity, create employee resource groups, etc.)
What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?
Probably forged by my day-to-day job, but I would encourage women starting their career to develop strong communication skills, as effective communication is essential in the workplace. And that communication is composed of verbal and written skills, of course, but that it also includes the capacity to listen actively and empathetically.
Be Kind. Be Fair. Be You.
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
I am looking forward into continuing Previan’s journey with Pledge 1%, seeing all our efforts transform into a global movement and surpass our numbers overall (amount donated, hours of paid volunteered time off, overall impact on our communities), etc. And, on a more personnal level, as a mom of college-aged twin girls, having those conversations where they share with me all their dreams about what the future looks like in their eyes.

Ruth Cawdron
Marketing Manager, ProvenWorks
London, UK
Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?
I’m privileged to be able to go into schools and universities to deliver career guidance sessions on what it’s like to work in Marketing and in the B2B software industry. Having worked in the education industry previously, it’s incredibly satisfying to make the most of these opportunities to demystify the world of work and share actionable tips for young people thinking about their next steps.
This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?
One thing I’ve been reflecting on a lot recently is meetings.
Studies show that with the rise of hybrid working, we’re spending more of our work day in meetings – virtual or in-person. Yet the majority of us never receive any formal training on how to run or participate in successful meetings that facilitate contribution from a representative cross-section of the attendees.
A World Economic Forum article called out that almost half (45%) of US women business leaders surveyed in June said it was difficult for women to speak up in virtual meetings on platforms like Zoom, while one-in-five women felt they’d actually been ignored on such calls. The answer suggested in the article is changing the environment in the (online) room – rather than changing women’s behaviour. Steps for progress here could look like:
1. Paying attention to who is speaking in your meetings – who is interrupting / who is being interrupted, who is answering questions first, who never speaks at all? These could also be open-ended questions you share with your team outside of your meetings.
2. Implement quick validations – researchers say positive interjections can be really valuable to encouraging people to speak up, and signaling their value to the rest of the group e.g. “That’s an interesting point”, “Thanks for pointing that out”.
3. If appropriate, acknowledge a lack of representation in a constructive way: “I’d be really interested to hear additional perspectives” – you’re not directly asking someone to speak, but you’re conveying that we all benefit from what more people have to say.
What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?
My advice is to apply for the job.
There are plenty of studies that show women are less likely to apply for a job unless they match an incredibly high percentage of a job’s qualifications. In a job advertisement, the required qualifications and specifications are important and indicative of a level of experience, but they are often not as black and white as they appear.
Just as important in the hiring process is self-advocacy, relationships, and a creative approach to demonstrating expertise and experience that make you a good fit for the role.
All of this can overcome not having the skills and experiences outlined in the job qualifications. I’m not promising that it will, but it can.
So apply for the job.
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
At work, I’m excited that ProvenWorks has partnered with Berkshire Community Foundation and I can’t wait to get involved with local volunteer opportunities. I’m also looking forward to travelling to the US for some Salesforce events later in the year. Nothing beats meeting people in person!
Outside of work, I’m training for the World Ultimate Championships where I’ll be representing Great Britain in Gold Coast, Australia during September. Lots of matches will be streamed on Youtube so you should check it out!
Geraldine Viji C. X
Managing Director, Clarium Tech Private Limited
Chennai, India
If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?
Passionate Leader. As a Woman leader I have struggled to reach this level and I want to pave the way for other women to reach the corporate ladder by mentoring them. I have given opportunities for people who have to take career break due to kids. I am happy to say all these individuals have performed well and are working in higher positions.
Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?
Yes as corporate leaders we have a greater responsibility to provide to the society .Given our position as leaders we can create policies to provide opportunities and uplift the society in our own way.
Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?
As a team we identify students who are financially poor to help them study and take different courses so that they can be employed after their studies. We identify the right candidate who can study but have financial constraints.
One of the girls who was a school topper was not able to study further though she got admission in the top engineering college. We helped her financially and also provided support to cope up with her studies. She is now the topper and have got placed with a good salary. Currently we have identified few such good candidates and helping them complete their college.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
As long as you teach them how to fish you need not provide them with fish every day.
This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?
Women are born leaders however they struggle once they get married. Identify such women and give them freedom to work from home. This can be done during the initial days till the kids grow.
Women leaders have a greater responsibility to create other leaders so create an environment where they are felt inclusive, and their ideas are received well.
What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?
Be bold and speak your mind. Always keep learning and be ahead. Be knowledgeable in all areas so that you can socialize and be part of any interest group.
What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
Personally, I want to create more women leaders who can be equally competitive and can run their own divisions.
As long as you teach them how to fish you need not provide them with fish every day.
