The Company
Our Client is a for-profit social enterprise created to provide employment
opportunities for the "forgotten workforce" within marginalized communities. Acknowledging the
limited job prospects yet high potential within these groups, the enterprise set out to bridge this gap
by leveraging technology and the internet to connect marginalized communities to the global
economy.
The organization’s philosophy embraces the Triple Bottom Line: Profit, People, and Planet.
Profit
Built on a sustainable for-profit model, the enterprise emphasizes three guiding principles:
• Sustainability
• Scalability
• Dignity – empowering individuals to support themselves independently of charitable aid.
People
The organization is dedicated to sustainable, meaningful employment for marginalized
communities. Initially hiring persons with disabilities (PWDs), it has expanded to include 39.5%
PWDs, 10.5% refugees, and 3.5% retirees. Operating fully remotely, it provides seamless service
to clients globally and continues to create job opportunities for other marginalized and
disadvantaged groups.
Planet
With a 100% cloud-based model and no physical office, the organization champions ESG
(Environmental, Social, Governance) principles, reducing its carbon footprint by enabling all team
members to work from home, thus eliminating commute-related emissions and fostering a
sustainable business model
