OpenX: 81% Participation in Global Social Impact Program

"With Percent Pledge, we’re not just exceeding our CSR goals—we’re also supporting our ESG initiatives within the platform."

Challenges

OpenX, a global leader in advertising technology, made sustainability a core part of its mission and sought to engage employees worldwide through meaningful giving and volunteering.

However, they faced key challenges:

• ‍Difficult manual processes made global CSR efforts inefficient, creating extra work for the single person managing the program.‍
• Limited resources and overwhelming planning challenges made it difficult to organize impactful volunteer events and connect with vetted charities.‍
• Global engagement was hard to achieve with employees spread across countries and time zones, relying on one person to unite their efforts.

Employees reported wanting to give back and volunteer. We needed a program that reflected our mission and brought the team together globally.
