We’re proud to be a Business for Good

What is Business for Good?

We incorporate purpose and meaning to our work at Careershifters through giving.

With B1G1 we’ve partnered with leading organisations to support local initiatives that we’re passionate about.

B1G1 is a global movement that enables businesses to incorporate effective impact creation into their everyday activities in a simple and powerful way.

Why do we choose to give?

At the heart of what we do at Careershifters is wanting to make a positive difference in the world.

We do this through our work in helping people to move into more fulfilling work. Through our partnership with B1G1, the work we do everyday at Careershifters has a positive impact on those that need our support the most.

We do this by supporting projects that provide education and skills development for children, young people and communities, who don’t have the same opportunities as we do. We also support environmental projects that plant trees for reforestation and to help support local livelihoods.

How do we support the initiatives?

We’re passionate about supporting these initiatives with you. 


Every time you purchase a place on a live Masterclass (or an on-demand recording), attend a Workshop, take part in the Launch Pad or High Flyers course, we give a day's education, skills training, plant a tree or provide support to a community based project elsewhere in the world.

In addition, we also carbon offset for our core team members (based in the UK, South America and Asia) each month. This supports multiple projects including tree planting and provision of solar lighting and meals.

trees supporting a reforestation project in Borneo

For every participant taking part in our Career Change Launch Pad, we plant a tree at a reforestation site in Borneo, through Health in Harmony. This project not only helps to plant trees and care for them – it also supports marginalised communities who look after the forest.

days of secondary education to children in Zimbabwe

Taking part in one of our Career Change Workshops helps support the Vana Trust to pay the tuition fees for children to go to secondary school. Secondary school is a luxury for many in Zimbabwe. This project not only gives education but also helps children to develop socially, physically and as community citizens.

impacts from carbon offsetting in Africa and Asia

Through B1G1’s carbon offset program, we have supported multiple projects to offset the carbon footprint for each of our core team members. Projects this supports includes tree planting in Malawi and Kenya, solar lighting in India and rescuing food that would otherwise have gone to landfill in Singapore.
