10% Certification
We offer an accreditation process for business certification through time, sustainability and philanthropic programs. Our certification includes three key giving drivers. They are:
- Financial: Companies must commit to 1% of sales or 5% of pre-tax profits, to meet the financial requirement.
- Time: Companies must have an organized, tracked and managed employee volunteer program with an overall volunteer rate of 2.5% to meet the time requirement.
- Sustainability: Companies must participate in a formal green business practice as outlined in certification programs such as, but not limited to - LEEDS, USDA organic, OTA or Green-e (as appropriate for specific industries) to meet the 2.5% sustainability requirement.
Once you have successfully gone through the accreditation process, you will receive the 10% Solution Certification Logo for immediate use. This stamp of certification allows you to propagate a recognizable, branded symbol to consumers. It also allows consumers to easily identify participating companies. You will find program details in our business section. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Consulting
Many times companies want to become a 10% Solution company and incorporate giving into their day-to-day operating practices, but do not know where to begin. That is where our 10% Social Responsibility Platform (SRP) program, comes into play. We understand that most companies want to be at the 10% certification level but often need time and assistance to get there. Also, there are times when companies don't want to obtain certification levels but still want to enact a Social Responsibility framework within their organization - that is what SRP is all about.
With SRP we do a baseline assessment of your social responsibility levels today, define paths for a larger integrated framework, outline various integration strategies (based on your business, marketing and cultural needs) and give you an outlay and timeline for each option. You end up with a clear idea of where you are and a road map for moving forward.
Our goal is to create a "business world" where every company wants to be, is on the path to becoming, or is a 10% Solution company. It is through this dream we will all change the world by giving.
