OUR PHILOSOPHY

Conscious Capitalism

Business Beyond Profit

Conscious Capitalism is a movement that believes business is good. As long-time proponents and supporters of the Conscious Capitalism movement, we’ve rooted the foundation of Improving in a deep commitment to establishing trust with all of our stakeholders. In fact, we believe our first responsibility each day is to build trust with and for our clients, partners, communities, and others.

Free enterprise capitalism is the most powerful system for social cooperation and human progress ever conceived. It is one of the most compelling ideas we humans have ever had. And we can aspire to even more.

  • Corporate Sponsorships are given both locally and internationally

  • Improvers are active board members for local chapters

CodeLaunch: A Catalyst For Innovation with Conscious Capitalism

At the heart of Conscious Capitalism lies CodeLaunch, an embodiment of our commitment to nurturing entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. Through this annual startup accelerator, we provide emerging businesses with the vital resources and guidance they need, fostering an ecosystem where profit and purpose coalesce. CodeLaunch is more than an event; it's our pledge to elevate startups with a conscience, contributing positively to the community and the market alike.

Stakeholder Model

Unlike some businesses that exist to maximize return on investment for their shareholders, Improving seeks to create value for all of our stakeholders, understanding that strong and engaged stakeholders lead to a profitable and sustainable business.
