Social Responsibility in Business: Spotlight on Our Charitable Partners
We love being a force for good in both the way we work and the work we produce. We also know how crucial social responsibility in business is, so it’s been a main focus from the start. And in 2023, we cultivated partnerships with some impressive local and national charitable organizations. Here, we spotlight three of them and see the positive impact a collaboration with The Bernard Group has had on their organizations and communities… and what’s to come in 2024.
