Chicory Wealth’s Community Impact
Some of the ways we honor our commitment to social and environmental stewardship and helping others do the same
Climate Commitment and Sustainability
As a business leader, we are responsible for putting our values into action, which means respect and care for the world in which all of us live and work. In 2022 we joined the B Corp Climate Collective and made the “SME Climate Commitment” to becoming carbon neutral. We also partnered with Clearloop®, a Silicon Ranch Company, to help us offset the climate impact of our work and expand access to clean energy in distressed communities throughout the United States.
Employee-Owned B Corporation
In October 2020, Chicory Wealth completed the lengthy certification process to become a B Corporation. This is a growing community of 5,000+ for-profit businesses in more than 70 countries and representing 150 industries dedicated to using business as a force for good. These businesses are certified by the nonprofit B Lab™ to meet rigorous standards of inclusivity and sustainability, and those who earn certification meet “the highest standards of social and environmental impact.” Re-certification occurs every three years, and we we re-certified in 2023. (Our Certified B Corporation disclosure can be found HERE.)
Certified B Corporations believe:
- That we must be the change we seek in the world.
- That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
- That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
- To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.
In 2020, we also changed our business model from a single owner to an employee-ownership structure.
Chicory 1% for Social Justice
We have made a commitment to donating at least 1 percent of our annual revenue to creative, locally grounded organizations working for systemic social change, and spreading the word about the work they are doing.
Educational & Other Resources
At Chicory Wealth we believe in the importance of financial literacy for everyone, so we provide free resources on our website. We hope this information will help expand people’s knowledge of their finances and how they can use their resources to support their values.
