What’s the ission state ent oa of your or anization on sustainabi ity? Why is it re e ant?

Our mission has been focused on empowering our clients to be successful in their businesses for the long-term. Our view is technology should be a fundamental enabler of efficiency, competitiveness, and organizational strength. A thread of sustainability is naturally woven into our mission, and ensuring our business, clients, communities, and end users have long-term success navigating external pressures driven by the economics of limited resources, natural disasters, and health-related impacts.

We believe that technology enables all companies to operate in a more sustainable manner. With the right solutions, employees can minimize travel and environmental impact by working closer to their homes. Companies can produce less waste by using digital solutions throughout their workflow. Further, with the right data intelligence, we enable companies to manage their investments in sustainable solutions like solar, wind, and others and validate those investments.

How do you see the role of your accountant and advisor and how should they assist you in the field of sustainability?

We view every business advisor and relationship through a lens of long-term impact, alignment with our values, and ability to maximize our impact. From a financial perspective, our accounting, finance, and tax support should help us plan effective and efficient ways to make these investments and manage costs.

Our job as an advisor is to challenge the status quo – and through both our leadership as a B Corporation, and also as a consultant, to push our clients to understand the impact of their decisions. As more clients move to more environmentally friendly hosted servers, hosted desktops, and other energy-reducing technologies, we prove out that sustainability has positive efficiency and environmental impacts.

What’s your source of inspiration? book ro e ode theory etc.

Bill Gates’ 2021 How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, led to a re-thinking of the different ways businesses and consumers make choices and trade-offs that have direct and indirect impacts on the economies related to scaling the technologies the world needs to address the biggest impacts of climate change.

In addition, the pursuit of B Corp certification partially originated from our former CEO reading Chief Sustainability Offices At Work: How CSOs Build Successful Sustainability and ESG Strategies by Chrissa Pagitsas.

re you workin with a standard e. . B Corp S G’s?

We follow the B Corp standard as our baseline for sustainable solutions. Further, we’ve partnered with other B Corporations to provide insight into our environmental footprint, community impact, and other key items to ensure we are not only following B Corp guidelines, but we are lifting fellow organizations with a focus on sustainability.

What’s your ad ice for other co panies?

We’ve enjoyed the communities evolving out of the B Corp and the recognizable standard. Lean on other B Corporations and use the tools in the B Hive to challenge your company. Nearly every investment we made has not only a positive environmental impact but also, has improved our overall company culture (and thus retention and recruiting metrics) by reinforcing that our behaviours are positively impacting the world. So, don’t be afraid to understand that you can be both fiscally responsible and drive towards sustainable change. More importantly, we’ve drawn in new talent that’s passionate about the same things we are.
