IVE SPIRITS
S
formalized the firm's philanthropic efforts to amplify their collective impact
Lisa Maeda, of Aspect
Consulting's human
resources team, helps
with treeplanting along
the Snoqualmie River.
ince the firm's founding in 2001, Aspect
Consulting executives and employees have donated
time, money and expertise to worthy causes. But for
years, the philanthropic efforts were largely chosen
by the company's leadership, according to Tim
Flynn, president and co-founder of the firm which
has seven offices in Washington state and Oregon
and specializes in sustainable development and
restoration.
"Historically, we have given a part of our proceeds
to charity and also provided some pro bono
consulting," Flynn says. "We became more organized
about it around five years ago as part of our strategic
planning process. Community giving came up as an
important goal, and we wanted to involve a broader
cross section of our staff."
That strategic planning process resulted in the
Aspect Community Team (ACT). The group
organizes a handful of volunteering events each
year, and Flynn hopes to grow ACT's role over time
with employees eventually helping to decide where
the firm's charity dollars are donated. According to
Flynn, Aspect Consulting has always tried to keep
its corporate donations above industry benchmarks
while also encouraging employee involvement.
But with the ACT group, Flynn hopes to create a
companywide culture that emphasizes corporate
responsibility.
"We are trying to engage our staff, as opposed
to it being a top-down process," Flynn says. "It is a
meaningful thing for folks to be able to share the gifts
that we have, and those gifts can be anything from
our time to our dollars to our expertise. There are a
lot of needs out there, and not enough resources to
cover those needs. It is rewarding to help out."
