Social Responsibility

Giving back and running a thoughtful operation is a journey, not a destination for us.

Conscientious Office Management

Our building received an energy star in 2010 – they are the only building in San Francisco that achieved a 100% rating! We helped them get there by advocating for and participating in their beta composting program.

We provide reusable items like water bottles and coffee mugs to our employees and never stock disposable utensils or dishes.

Our employees are educated on how to recycle and compost properly in our new hire orientations.

Given that we are food and drink snobs, we buy fair trade coffee that’s delivered by bike, get local and organic fruit deliveries every week, and buy the best local bagels available.

When we have to print or use paper items, they are always recycled, 100% post-consumer. And, we print double-sided.

Got batteries, old electronics or any e-waste you need to get rid of? We will either donate them to the local school or e-cycle them on the house.

Our employees take public transit when possible and we provide them with pre-tax benefits.

We’ve got a great, sunny view and don’t like to work with the lights on.

Every year we offset our carbon emissions through NativeEnergy.

Affecting Change in our Local, National and World Community

Our team loves to get out during the workweek and give back to the community. Recent volunteer events include Project Homeless Connect, the San Francisco Food Bank, Presidio and Ocean Beach.

We drink and donate. We have successful donation drives at our offsite parties. Recently we raised funds for GLIDE.

Unfortunate events and disasters happen, and when they do, we pitch in with a flat donation from the company in addition to matching employee contributions.

Our people care and we match their donations to charities of their choice.

We run food and clothing drives.

At the end of the year, we let our employees and top volunteers donate $10,000 of company money to the charity of their choice.

And, of course, all non-profit organizations email for free with VerticalResponse, and receive discounts on surveys and direct mail postcards.
