Bloomreach Joins Pledge 1% Movement to Drive Positive Change through Community Volunteering
Bloomreach, the innovative platform that enables limitless e-commerce personalization, proudly announces its commitment to the global Pledge 1% movement. This initiative empowers businesses to contribute positively to society by pledging 1% of their time, equity, or product to charitable causes. Bloomreach’s pledge specifically focuses on dedicating 1% of its company time to community service and volunteering efforts, reinforcing its commitment to fostering positive change both within the e-commerce industry and beyond.
“As a global organization, our reach spans so many different countries and communities. We have the opportunity to make a sizable impact around the world with the time we pledge to volunteering and community service,” said Ursula Kralova, Chief People Officer at Bloomreach. “We’re proud to join Pledge 1%, and to continue in our mission to be a force for good in e-commerce and in the world.”
The Pledge 1% movement, which aims to inspire companies of all sizes to give back to their communities, aligns with Bloomreach’s core values of social responsibility and global impact. By formalizing their commitment to volunteerism, Bloomreach sets a strong example of how businesses can be more than just economic drivers—they can also be agents of change.
Bloomreach has a long-standing tradition of supporting the communities it serves. Over the years, the company has made significant financial contributions to global organizations and causes. In 2022, Bloomreach took a step further in its philanthropic journey by launching the Volunteering Time Off (VTO) program. This initiative allows employees to take up to five paid days off annually to dedicate to volunteer work. The program was designed to supplement the company’s existing financial donations, offering employees an opportunity to make a direct, hands-on impact in their local communities.
The VTO program has seen enthusiastic participation, with employees dedicating their volunteer hours to a variety of causes. Volunteers have supported local food banks, animal shelters, environmental organizations, and zoological gardens, among many others. This success has inspired Bloomreach to formalize its volunteer commitment by joining the Pledge 1% movement, a step that amplifies the impact of its efforts. Through this new initiative, employees will now have the opportunity to contribute more than just 1% of their time, furthering Bloomreach’s commitment to global good.
By joining Pledge 1%, Bloomreach is taking its mission to be a force for good to the next level. The company’s leadership recognizes that corporate success is not only measured by business growth but also by the positive influence a company can have on the world. This initiative is particularly meaningful given Bloomreach’s international presence, which spans a wide range of industries and geographies. The ability to mobilize employees to participate in community service across the globe presents a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on a global scale.
Bloomreach’s commitment to social responsibility is not just about offering time off for volunteering. The company is deeply invested in ensuring that its employees can actively engage in meaningful, life-changing experiences through volunteerism. By giving back to the communities that help shape the company’s success, Bloomreach hopes to inspire others in the tech and e-commerce sectors to follow suit.
The Pledge 1% movement is a beacon for businesses that want to contribute to causes they care about, and Bloomreach’s involvement sends a clear message: companies have a responsibility to leverage their resources—whether that’s time, money, or products—for the greater good. The time commitment made by Bloomreach’s employees will continue to foster a sense of purpose, unity, and collective responsibility within the company.
In addition to the Pledge 1% commitment, Bloomreach continues to prioritize sustainability and social responsibility in all its operations. The company’s ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) efforts are aimed at making a measurable and positive difference in the world, ensuring that its impact extends far beyond the world of e-commerce.
