Small Actions Directory
How To Do Good Through Your Small Business
Looking for ways to make a positive impact through your small business? Look no further than the Small Actions Directory! Our unique Small Actions Framework organizes social responsibility actions into four categories and multiple subcategories to help you find the right approach for your business.
Whether you want to give back to your community, reduce your environmental impact, support social justice causes, engage your employees in volunteer work, or so much more, the Small Actions Directory has you covered. Each action also includes links to relevant providers, suppliers, and resources to help you get started (when available).
Each directory listing will provide more information about a Small Action you can take as well as potential resources to help you take action. If you want to hire a business to help with these actions, you'll find links to businesses in the listings as available, or you can search our Social Responsibility Directory directly.Â
To learn more about the Small Actions Framework and how to implement these actions effectively, check out our training program. You can also download a summary sheet of the categories and subcategories to keep on hand for easy reference.
We're always updating and expanding our directory, so check back often for new ideas. And if you have a suggestion for an action that isn't already included, don't hesitate to reach out and let us know. Together, we can make a big impact through small actions.Â
