Service with Minor Environmental Footprint
United States
Boomerang is one of Chicago’s most comprehensive, reliable and responsive research, and document management company. They work with legal service firms who serve the due diligence needs of corporations, law firms and lenders involved in mergers and acquisitions, commercial and residential real estate transactions, and lending activities within Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin counties. In Boomerang's daily work, they rarely get the opportunity to feel like they can make a difference in their community. Just by working to certify Boomerang as a B-Corp, their entire staff became even more aware of ways they can effect change in the communities around them. With that in mind, they expect to continue to expand on what they currently do and what they will learn to do in the future. This will be accomplished by engaging with other B-Corp members that share their goals. Also, with some of the changes they made to volunteering and pro-bono work, they will continue to educate themselves as they move through their community and environmental goals. It is through this hope that they will not only educate their clients and peers but also help develop their own understanding of their place in their community and the world around them.
