We became a B Corp to join a community of like-minded companies who are concerned with a triple bottom line. We want to be part of a movement that is changing business laws to benefit everyone. B Corp provides us with the external framework and measurements to keep guiding us in the right direction and to be part of a conversation that is building better businesses.
The Change We Seek™
Guided by the triple bottom line (people, planet and profit) from the beginning, our vision is to empower teams to make a difference by minimizing environmental impact, maximizing societal benefit and generating sustainable economic growth. We're committed to sustainability internally and to injecting sustainability into the business practices of its clients. In addition to helping companies benefit from paperless work processes, we also enable a team to track its sustainable commuting as well as purchasing renewable energy credits for the non-renewable portion of clients’ energy usage while on their FMYI site. Keeping with our tagline "Powered by human energy®," FMYI provides free support as an integral part of making technology work for people.
