Being a B Corp
We believe that companies can be great to their employees AND minimize their environmental impact AND do business in an ethical and transparent way AND still be successful. In fact, we believe that these factors are what have helped us to be a more successful company than many of our peers.
This philosophy has helped guide our decision-making since our beginning but getting our B Corp Certification in September 2017 meant a lot to us. It motivates us to continue to become better every year and to set clear parameters for improvement.
What Does it Mean to Be a Certified B Corp?
To earn a B Corp Certification, a company must:
- Complete a rigorous B Impact Assessment to evaluate how the company’s operations impact its workers, community, environment, and customers
- Meet the B Corp legal requirements
- Continue to meet B Corp standards in order to renew the certification every 3 years
What this Means for Upward Technology
For us, being a B Corp means using our certification to become a better company. It has helped us:
- Hire and keep the best talent
- Contribute to our local community in meaningful ways
- Measurably reduce our environmental footprint
- Participate in the wonderful B Corp community in Portland, OR
DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
We recognize and embrace our opportunity to create an environment at Upward that represents and celebrates the diversity in the world around us. We treat everyone fairly and equally, without discrimination on the grounds of race, age, role, gender identity, color, religion, country of origin, sexual orientation, marital status, dependents, disability, social class or political views. This includes consideration for recruitment, redundancy, promotion, reward and benefits, training or retirement, which must be based on merit.
