Our Impact
HigherRing has been certified as a B Corp since August of 2018. We believe in business as a force for good and we’re proud to authenticate our impact with B Lab.
HigherRing has been a member of 1% for the Planet since September 2019. Through 1% FTP we donate 1% of our company revenue to environmental partners. Our total lifetime donations equal $59,615
HigherRing, Inc. measured its Scope 1, 2, and 3 cradle-to-consumer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Our total emissions = 157 tCO2e.
We’ve committed to reduction targets and specific action plans to reduce operational and value chain emissions within the next 12-24 months. Our reduction plans include reduced use of private transportation for business travel as well as a commitment to purchase all employee gifts from zero or low-carbon producers or resellers.
We’ve invested in verified projects that accelerate climate progress and compensate for our GHG emissions. Our carbon credits come from projects that support wind energy and capture methane gas from landfills.
We have offset 100% of our emissions.
HigherRing is proud to use our influence as a business to advocate for a free and fair democracy, particularly in the states where we employ team members. Part of that advocacy includes our membership with Civic Alliance. Utilizing their helpful toolkits, we exemplify our ongoing commitment to foster civic engagement and strengthen democracy.
In 2023, we have championed civic education initiatives, empowering individuals with knowledge and resources to actively participate in the democratic process. We encourage employees to volunteer as poll workers by offering paid time off. We actively share election information and celebrate civic holidays.
Our efforts extend beyond internal initiatives as we collaborate with nonpartisan civic organizations and incorporate election information into our brand marketing, further amplifying the importance of civic engagement.
Through these endeavors, we not only demonstrate our unwavering commitment to democracy but also empower team members to become advocates for positive change.
Michelle’s Volunteer Work
We are proud to spotlight the personal advocacy efforts of our CEO, Michelle, with the leadership group WeTheChange.
As the Membership Chair, Michelle dedicated nearly 200 hours in 2023 with WeTheChange, working with the Leadership Circle to launch a membership model that will increase the power and effectiveness of the organization.
Founded in 2017, WeTheChange is a group of purpose-driven women* business leaders who believe business can be used to generate abundance and prosperity for all. Less than 4% of investments worldwide go towards women-led companies, and that's a metric WTC is on a mission to change through education, knowledge-sharing, advocacy, access to capital, and networking.
Our SDGs
We align our actions and advocacy in coordination with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which serve as a universal guiding light for businesses and organizations worldwide to work towards a better, more sustainable future.
At HigherRing, we've chosen to concentrate our efforts towards the SDGs where we feel we will make the most significant impact.
As a women-led company, HigherRing is passionate about advocating for women’s reproductive rights in the states where our team members work. After the fall of Roe vs. Wade, we invested in medical travel benefits to ensure our team members experience fewer barriers to the medical care they need regardless of where they reside.
We signed onto Don’t Ban Equality to join thousands of other companies in an organized advocacy effort. We also volunteer our time and labor with WeTheChange, an organization supporting women-led businesses.
HigherRing is proud to be working to improve working conditions and setting new standards in the outsourcing industry, especially around contact center work, where working conditions, pay practices, and development opportunities are a real challenge.
We are proud to pay at least a living wage in each community where we hire. We hire team members as employees with benefits, ownership, and profit-sharing opportunities. We also are proud to offer paid training and career path opportunities.
As a fully remote business, HigherRing was founded to be helpful in the effort to mitigate climate change. We are proud to be a member of 1% for the Planet, where we give 1% of our top-line revenue to organizations working to address the causes and effects of climate change, both environmental and social.
In 2023, we also became climate neutral certified.
HigherRing is committed to doing our part to support a functioning democracy. We are a member of the American Sustainable Business Network where our co-founder and CEO, Michelle serves on the Business for Democracy working group.
We advocate with the elected officials where we do business and have team members living for fair access to the polls and for concepts such as ranked-choice voting and equitable map drawing so that all can be represented fairly.
Additionally, in 2023, we were proud to offer all HigherRing employees paid time off for working the polls in their communities.
We’re proud to offer our team members paid volunteer time to work with their favorite 1% For the Planet partner organizations. Here are some of the organizations our team has volunteered with over the past year.
