Blackbaud, located in Charleston, is sharing all of the ways that it is giving back through its corporate social responsibility programs.
On its website, the leading cloud software company outlined the role of its business and recognized the company's ability to do good through various programs.
"As a company that has been committed to social good since it was founded 40 years ago, Blackbaud’s vision is to power an Ecosystem of Good that builds a better world," according to Blackbaud's website. "With its remote-first workforce approach, Blackbaud has implemented several new ways for employees to get involved and give back, whether virtually or in-person."
The news is being shared in the holiday spirit, as the company commits to furthering these initiatives into the new year.
"Regardless of location or role, the people of Blackbaud are all about giving back, with a particular focus on intentional action in the communities where they personally live and work," said Rachel Hutchisson, vice president of global social responsibility at Blackbaud. "As a company, we join in that spirit through many acts of generosity and service, which — along with our commitment to ESG (environmental, social and governance) — are at the heart of who we are as a business serving social good.”
Recent initiatives of the company include disaster relief donations, employee volunteer programs, donations to programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters and One80 Place (an organization that aims to end homelessness), the donation of electronic equipment to charitable organizations around the continent and the annual Blackbaud Global Toy Drive.
"Over the past year, Blackbaud has made bold commitments to its environmental, social and governance (ESG) program, establishing an ESG steering committee, and reporting on new metrics," Blackbaud's website said. "Blackbaud also joined the United Nations Global Compact — a voluntary leadership platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices."
For its efforts, Blackbaud was recently named to Newsweek's list of America's Most Responsible Companies.
