HigherRing is Verified by People + Planet First
A Testament to Our Commitment to Impact
At HigherRing, we’re driven by a simple yet powerful mission: We harness business as a force for good and partner with impact organizations to lighten their load and further their purpose. We create remote, impact employment where our team members and clients are valued and supported in their efforts to advance us all toward a more sustainable world. We’re thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey towards bringing that mission to life—HigherRing has been officially verified by People + Planet First. This recognition underscores our unwavering dedication to sustainability, equity, and ethical practices in every aspect of our business.
What Is People + Planet First?
People + Planet First recognizes businesses committed to prioritizing social and environmental impact alongside profitability. Verified companies must demonstrate accountability, transparency, and action in areas like sustainability, fair labor practices, and community engagement.
This certification isn’t handed out lightly. It’s a signal to the world that a company meets high standards of responsibility—not just on paper, but in practice.
Why This Matters to Us
HigherRing has always believed in aligning our operations with our values. From earning climate-neutral and Living Wage certifications to our 1% for the Planet commitment where we give 1% of our revenue to environmental causes– we strive to ensure our actions speak louder than words. Achieving People + Planet First verification is another way we’re holding ourselves accountable to our promise of being a force for good.
This recognition celebrates HigherRing as a company and the incredible team members and clients who share our vision of a better, more sustainable future. Together, we’re proving that ethical outsourcing and impact-driven partnerships can create meaningful change.
Our Road to Verification
The process of becoming People + Planet First verified was thorough and introspective. We were vetted through a platform called Good Market. The process through Good Market required us to prove that we prioritize people and the planet over short-term profit maximization and that our purpose includes social and environmental goals. We were required to show a sustainability strategy that goes beyond a one-time project or event.
What’s Next?
Being verified by People + Planet First is a proud moment and a reminder that there’s more work to do. As we move forward, we’ll continue to:
Strengthen our partnerships with socially responsible companies and nonprofits.
Promote equity and inclusivity in our workplace and beyond.
Advocate for sustainability by encouraging others in our network to pursue impactful initiatives and certifications.
Thank You to Our Community
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our team, clients, partners, and collaboration with the Good Market and People + Planet First teams. Together, we’re proving that businesses can be a force for positive change.
