COMMUNITY IMPACT Our Approach
Our community impact work focuses on our local, industry, and B Corp communities and our team members at Fairware.
Our community impact efforts have grown organically over the years. While we have never had a formal policy or committee guiding or tracking our efforts, we have a long-standing history of commitments and actions supporting our community, from do- nating to nonprofits to gifting merchandise to community shelters. An example of this is our support for the Vancouver Street Soccer League (VSSL), a volunteer-run, nonprofit organization that addresses housing, marginalization, and recovery through inclusivity and soccer. All our impact work is grounded in the need for systemic change. We recognize that underlying inequities are driving many of the issues facing our communities and our planet, and it would be impossible to move forward without addressing these issues at their root cause. Through our advocacy work, we will tackle the systemic barriers of any issue we address. This year, our approach is to continue and expand our involvement in our local com- munities while addressing issues at their root causes. We will formalize our policies and accountabilities and build and implement a system to measure and track our actions. This approach will ensure Fairware is walking our talk regarding community impact.
