Climate Action
Carbon Neutral Operations
We estimate our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. We continuously challenge ourselves to find opportunities to reduce our emissions year over year.
Whether it is our travel costs, our home office costs, or our systems use costs, we aim to reduce emissions at the source.
We’ve offset the full scope of our estimated emissions by investing in verified climate projects, with Bonneville Environmental Foundation.

HigherRing proudly participates in civic action as a member of Civic Alliance, America Is All In, Don’t Ban Equality, and Business For Democracy.
We provided pro bono support to Business for Democracy for the 2024 election cycle.
We promote civic education internally and through our social channels, we provide paid poll working days to team members, and we support voter engagement through our partnership with Power The Polls.
