OUR PURPOSE
We are passionate about promoting responsible and authentic people, places and brands, but making a positive impact through our own business is just as important to us.
We’re open about our progress in this space and share the positive impact that we’re having through transparent and tangible proof points – not only because transparency is a key value of ours but it also keeps us in-check and on-track when it comes to our own purpose-led goals.
We care about having a positive impact on people. So we provide pro bono and discounted consultancy to not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises that help to foster inclusive communities. To-date we’ve provided $27,194 worth of support to the Committee For Brisbane, Kwila, UNESCO and YWCA Australia.
We’re committed to making the world a fairer place by contributing at least one percent of our annual revenue to protect people and the planet. We track our positive impact against our revenue on a quarterly basis, to ensure we’re giving back at least 1% of everything we make. We’re currently tracking at 3.27% given back.
We care about protecting our planet. Since launching Helm we’ve proudly partnered with ReForest Now, by planting 10 trees for every fee invoice we raise. To-date we’ve planted 2,240 trees (a proud feat for our small business), and have helped to restore subtropical rainforests in Australia’s beautiful Northern Rivers region.
We’re driven by our mission to be an ethical business that is also a force for good. This is why we are highly selective with the partners we choose to work with – including our clients, strategic collaborators and contractors, and across our broader business procurement.
