Equity & Inclusion
We believe in inclusive, anti-racist practices. We partner with organizations like The Conscious Kid and are actively listening, learning, and evolving.
Community Engagement
We show up for our communities—volunteering and donating to causes like Special Olympics, Project Canine, and The Moth. We also support your passions, offering volunteer PTO and donation matching.
Environmental Responsibility
From reducing paper waste to low-waste tools, we’re committed to sustainable, eco-conscious operations—and we’re proud to maintain a carbon-negative footprint.
