OUR IMPACT

How We Use Business for Good

Uplift is committed to using our business as a force for good, and we are currently in the process of becoming B Corp certified.

The B Impact Assessment is an objective, third-party toolkit that ensures our company meets the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

  • Re-imagining the live event industry in order to implement sustainability initiatives is the main focus of our mission. To honor this commitment, we strive to do the following:

    -Create & implement a waste removal & recycling plan
    -Produce reusable branding and promotional items
    -Seek local suppliers to avoid excessive shipping
    -Hire vendors and staff whenever possible to reduce the impact of travel
    -Go digital whenever possible (i.e.; mobile tickets & marketing)

  • We commit to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and safe by prioritizing the following:

    JEDI Principles:
    Justice, equity, diversity, inclusion. We commit to incorporating these principles into all of our work.

    -We are an anti-racist organization. We also acknowledge that there is much work to do in this area.
    -We will not tolerate discrimination in any form.
    -We will support civil rights and JEDI-forward legislation.

    Quality of Life:
    The mental and emotional health of our team is paramount to maintaining a productive, healthy environment, and commit to the following:

    -Offer ongoing opportunities for learning and professional growth
    -Pay everyone on our team a living wage 
    -Offer schedule flexibility

    Corporate Governance:
    We commit to implement ethical corporate governance practices in the following ways:

    Use Our Skills to Benefit Society 
    -Be honest, trustworthy, and transparent 
    -Respect the work required to produce new ideas and give credit where it is due
    -Strive for the highest quality in everything we do
    -Maintain high standards of professional competence, conduct, and ethical practice
    -Embrace principles of continuous learning and organizational agility
    -Evaluate internal systems and their impacts
    -Articulate, encourage acceptance of, and evaluate fulfillment of environmental and social responsibilities by all team members

  • Honesty is our guide in all sales, marketing, and advertising. We will make only complete, factual, and truthful statements about our company and its services. We will also work with our clients to ensure information integrity in what we create on their behalf.

    Uplift exists in an always evolving industry amidst a constantly shifting culture. We are an intentionally small agency, committing to growth only when it makes sense with what our resources allow while also meeting financial and impact-related goals.

    Grounding everything we do in strong ethical principles helps us navigate uncertainty and chart a clear course through disruption. Our B Corp certification and this Code of Ethics are the driving forces for how we accomplish this.
