See how we bring our purpose to life.
At Bonterra, our culture is centered on our purpose-driven values and commitment to DEIB.
We power those who power social impact
To truly champion the doers behind organizations that make social good possible, we must first champion our internal doers. We developed purpose-driven values that inform our culture and guide our actions as a business, as an employer, and as individuals.
Getting to know our values
When we set out to create our values, we knew it would be a pivotal moment in our company’s history—and that we needed to get it right. We engaged employees from across the organization in meaningful conversations around our vision, strategy, and brand identity. Together, they developed the following core values to guide our work and our journey as Bonterra.
Elevate the doers of good
As the optimistic advocates supporting the people behind the scenes of social good, we’re always looking for ways to elevate our customers—the doers of good—so more good can be done. We achieve this by collectively flexing our passion for impact and our tech smarts to help our customers do more good.
Cultivate inclusivity
No matter our position, identities, or background, we own our part in making a working environment in which the multiple dimensions of diversity are embraced. We are passionate and diligent about cultivating a culture where everyone can thrive.
Innovate courageously
Delivering innovative solutions requires curiosity and a growth mindset. We keep our customers at the core of what we do and leverage our deep industry expertise to solve unimagined possibilities and unmet needs. We encourage our workforce to be courageous, favor progress over perfection and celebrate hard work.
Appreciate the journey
As an organization, we are driven by an urgent purpose—sometimes, that can be a heavy load to carry. However, it’s why we remember to welcome the days with optimism and meet each other with warmth, humor, and openness. We understand that taking our work seriously doesn’t mean we don’t get to enjoy the ride, and we are grateful for this opportunity to take part in the purpose of Bonterra.
“Helping to create Bonterra's values was extremely rewarding. It presented me with the opportunity to play a role in shaping our culture and values as well as hear from other Bonterrans. Together, we were able to learn from each other's personal experiences and perspectives.”
