The Three 3’s Pledge. A look back at what we accomplished in 2018!

Back in 2016 we established our Three 3’s initiative. Our hope is to use our leverage as a small business to give back to the community and to the environment. We also want to provide our employees a chance to be a part of something important that is more than just a job. If you have been following our updates, you might have seen our efforts throughout 2018.  As a reminder, the THREE 3’s initiative is a pledge to give back to the community as follows – 3% of PROFIT is donated to charity, 3% of PTO TIME is dedicated to volunteering efforts and 3% of FEE must be pro-bono work for institutions promoting community and sustainability.

Here’s an overview of what we accomplished this past year:
