Smartly is a multinational and diverse team of 650+ Smartlies from 60+ nationalities, working in 13 countries. Together, we want to create and maintain an inclusive environment where everyone feels respected and heard. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is an evergreen objective for Smartly, and we strive to always improve.
We have many initiatives and programs to support our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. These include, among other, a process for inclusive recruitment, partnerships with organizations serving underrepresented groups, and anonymous employee surveys, as well as employee resource groups.
Celebrating our differences and maximizing learning from them builds trust and enhances creativity and innovation. Ultimately, success is achieved when teams are genuinely diverse in experiences, backgrounds, and thought
In 2020, we adopted a 1-1-1 model for social impact, which means we dedicate 1% of our profits to philanthropy, 1% of our time to volunteering, and 1% of our product through pro bono initiatives.
We primarily focus on three social impact initiatives: Women & Girls, Education, and the Environment. In these focus areas, we carry out donation matching and engage in wider social initiatives.
