About BetterWorld Telecom

BetterWorld is the only full service nationwide voice and data telecommunications carrier solely focused on serving businesses, enterprises, and organizations that have social and sustainable missions. Our customers save on average 28% off the major providers and we backup our quality and service with a 100% guarantee, while donating 3% of top-line revenues to causes that benefit children, education, the environment and fair trade.

We believe in business as the lever of change in society - - to achieve this and create critical mass, we must bond together create a new economy with a new set of rules. The B Corporation designation and group is just such a vehicle that will help this dynamic to come to fruition.

We are always looking for ways to reduce our ecological impact along every step of the product and service delivery process. At BetterWorld Telecom, we take our commitment to the environment so seriously; we launched the BetterWorld Environmental Impact Plan. And we're proud to report that BetterWorld has officially become the very first telecommunications company in all of North America to have an operational net-zero environmental impact. We have met our goal to be carbon-neutral by fall 2007!

The Change We Seek™

We want to be an example to other businesses. If we can make the social and sustainable business model work in telecommunications, it could work in any business.

• BetterWorld is the only telecom carrier in the United States to be certified as a B Corporation, which makes us a leader for social responsibility in our industry. We also donate at least 1% of revenues to One Percent For The Planet, another important organization that uses the power of business to fund positive social change.

• Our employees volunteer at least one-half day each month to non-profit causes in the communities we serve. We want to be an important and significant member in our community, so we recognize this duty and take the time to help those around us.

• We analyze our company’s performance every year and release a CSR report to the public detailing our progress in becoming sustainable. We believe that it is important to set goals in this area and hold ourselves accountable so that we improve every year.
