Why Our B Corporation® Status Matters
Snowflake is part of a global movement using business as a force for good
Snowflake
LLC “helps organizations improve individuals’ and communities’ quality of life.” We take your goals as are own, working as
“one team” to make a significant, lasting social impact. We’re not here to profit from you—we exist to
help you be at your sustainable best, so you’ll always be there for the people
who need you. From our “top-tier consultancy”
heritage, we bring unique perspectives,
diverse experiences, and a high degree of professionalism uncommon among small businesses.
We’ve demonstrated our ability to apply what we know through “community lenses,”
leveraging our combined knowledge to make a greater difference in society.
You should take notice.
There
are few consultants who can say, “we are
you,” offer the type and level of expertise we do, and ensure the cost is
affordable. With Snowflake, you’ll work with
“one of your own,” with a common purpose and a shared commitment to making a
difference. Together, we can accomplish greater things, for the greater good.
We’re
making a lot of claims here. How do you
know we’re legitimate? That’s where our Certified
B Corporation®
status comes in. The
B Corp movement comprises 2,500 companies worldwide, ranging from major
corporations like King Arthur Flour, Patagonia, and Cabot Creamery to small firms
like Snowflake. B Corps measure
“business success” in a different way.
While we still need to make a reasonable profit, our social impact is a
key part of our bottom lines, and that’s reflected in our missions, goals,
operations, people, and relationships with our communities. In other words, we’re using our businesses as
a force for social good—to be the change the world needs.
When we decided to become a Certified B Corporation® in 2017, we officially adopted a corporate identity predicated on promoting social welfare. The B Corp certification process is demanding, requiring that companies consistently and transparently demonstrate exactly how they serve their social purpose. For us, pursuit of social objectives is reflected in our focus on serving non-profits and other socially-oriented organizations, while seeking only reasonable profits from our work. It’s represented by the fact that we set aside ten percent of our year for pro bono support, helping local non-profits who need high quality professional advice and support to be greater, but simply can’t afford it. It’s institutionalized in the free training we offer the non-profit community. It’s enshrined in contributing up to 7.5% of our annual income to charitable causes. And, to the extent possible, we source labor from disadvantaged populations, and supplies from local providers. All of our efforts are publicly displayed, so we’re accountable for what we’ve committed to do.
When you see our Certified B Corporation® logo, you can be confident we’ll be a true partner, one that shares your objectives and collaborates with you to achieve them. Since 2014, more than 25 clients have benefited from the combination of our social values and our perspectives, experiences, and professionalism. Let’s see what we can accomplish together, too.
