Sustainability Story

HigherRing, a proud B Corp, was founded to create great U.S. jobs and to do whatever we can to address the looming climate change crisis. We do this by educating and activating our workforce, spending 1% of our revenue on nonprofits also working to address the problem, and lobbying to educate elected officials in each of the states that we hire about the issue.
