Doing good is not just an outcome of our products, it’s who we are. We are a proud Public Benefit Corporation and a Certified B Corp and we constantly look for ways to deepen our impact on the world. Classy’s mission is to mobilize and empower the world for good. To us, this means creating a more inclusive and sustainable world for all. We accept and acknowledge that the phrase “for good” means different things to different people, but hate, discrimination, and violence will never have a place on the Classy platform or in the Classy community.
As part of our commitment to inclusivity, we empower a wide array of organizations and causes through the Classy platform. We believe in presenting a diverse set of perspectives and potential solutions to the world’s social and environmental problems. We believe that with an inclusive approach, the best solutions will ultimately rise to the top.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we prioritize working with people and organizations that seek to create value for all of their stakeholders and embed these principles into their day-to-day operations. We seek out partners—including business partners, vendors, and suppliers—who not only share a stakeholder mindset, but have also taken steps to formalize their commitment to this approach in some way, such as through a B Certification or Pledge 1%.
Guidelines
These guidelines apply to all Classy stakeholders—including customers, partners, employees, and shareholders—and are meant to provide a simple set of rules that align our entire community under a unified code of conduct.
Enforcement
Classy provides an avenue for our own team members and other stakeholders to report potential violations of our policy. Each case is carefully reviewed and goes through a series of steps to identify whether someone has violated any of the terms outlined above. In most cases we will work with our stakeholder to change, remove, or improve whatever is in question to adhere to the community’s guidelines. In some cases, our evaluation may result in a pause of our working relationship, or a permanent parting of ways. In these cases, we will invite the stakeholder in question to participate in the process and defend itself if necessary. We will also work with the stakeholder to minimize business disruption to the extent possible.
