Our impact

We know your organization can balance people, planet and profit, because we’re doing it too.

As a sustainability agency, R&G is responsible for not only supporting our clients in managing their impacts, but also for managing our own impacts internally. We work tirelessly to ensure we’re meeting and exceeding the highest standards of sustainability in our field.

We minimize our environmental impact

Climate change is the greatest crisis of our age, and it will take universal action from companies of all sizes to achieve a sustainable solution.

Our electricity is 100% renewable

We have adopted a work from home policy to offer more flexibility and minimize our energy use. We also use Bullfrog Power to purchase renewable energy for all of our team members’ electricity use while working.

We are a zero water and zero waste organization

Our fully-digital work environment means our company doesn’t consume any waste or water. We also provide electronics and battery recycling pickups for our team to divert any of their e-waste from landfills.

We encourage staff to make environmentally conscious choices

R&G provides an annual bonus to every employee as reimbursement for clean transportation purchases, like bikes or e-bikes.

We invest in our community

R&G understands that we need our communities for our business to thrive as much as communities need strong corporate and civic participation. That’s why we are always looking for opportunities to engage and get involved.

We purchase locally

61% of R&G’s spend in 2020 was with local suppliers. In total, 71% of our spend was with sustainable suppliers that were either local, non-profits, BCorps, women-owned, or environmental organizations.

We are a team of volunteers

R&G supports local organizations by offering employees 2 days of paid time off each year to volunteer in the community at an organization of their choice.

We value equity

R&G is a women-owned and led company with women also representing 50% of our staff. 25% of our staff also identify as visible minorities. We are continuing to look for ways to increase the diversity of our workforce.

73 purpose-driven organizations served
