Colangelo & Partners Commitment to CSR

  • Employment‬‭ Practices:‬‭ We‬‭ go‬‭ beyond‬‭ the‬‭ legal‬‭ requirements‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ non-discrimination‬‭ laws‬ ‭ and‬‭ actively‬‭ seek‬‭ to‬‭ employ‬‭ and‬‭ provide‬‭ equal‬‭ opportunity‬‭ to‬‭ all‬‭ employees‬‭ and‬‭ applicants‬ ‭ for‬‭ employment‬‭ without‬‭ regard‬‭ to‬‭ race,‬‭ color,‬‭ religion,‬‭ sex,‬‭ national‬‭ origin,‬‭ age,‬‭ or‬‭ disability.‬ ‭ We actively seek to hire staff with diverse backgrounds from around the world.‬ 
  • Social‬‭ Causes:‬‭ We‬‭ encourage‬‭ employees‬‭ to‬‭ be‬‭ active‬‭ in‬‭ social‬‭ causes.‬‭ Staff‬‭ have‬‭ a‬‭ flexible‬ ‭ time‬‭ off‬‭ policy‬‭ which‬‭ allows‬‭ them‬‭ to‬‭ take‬‭ time‬‭ for‬‭ social‬‭ causes.‬‭ Staff‬‭ activities‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ past‬ ‭ range‬‭ from‬‭ distributing‬‭ fresh‬‭ produce‬‭ to‬‭ underserved‬‭ communities,‬‭ to‬‭ participating‬‭ in‬‭ the‬ ‭ Climate Strike with Greta Thunberg, to building a pop-up stage for an LGBTQ+ benefit.‬ 
  • Pro‬‭ Bono‬‭ Work:‬‭ Be‬‭ the‬‭ Change‬‭ – ‬‭ a‬‭ virtual‬‭ job‬‭ fair‬‭ dedicated‬‭ to‬‭ providing‬‭ people‬‭ of‬‭ diverse‬ ‭ backgrounds‬‭ with‬‭ career‬‭ opportunities‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ beverage‬‭ alcohol‬‭ industry‬‭ Rebuild‬‭ Wine‬ ‭ Country‬‭ – ‬‭ a‬‭ relief‬‭ organization‬‭ that‬‭ raised‬‭ money‬‭ to‬‭ support‬‭ people‬‭ affected‬‭ by‬‭ the‬‭ California‬ ‭ wildfires.‬ 
  • Recycling:‬‭ We‬‭ recycle‬‭ both‬‭ bottles‬‭ and‬‭ corks‬‭ from‬‭ our‬‭ tastings.‬‭ We‬‭ work‬‭ with‬‭ ReCORK,‬ ‭ whose‬‭ mission‬‭ is‬‭ to‬‭ collect‬‭ and‬‭ repurpose‬‭ natural‬‭ cork‬‭ to‬‭ create‬‭ environmental‬‭ change.‬‭ We‬ ‭ support‬‭ them‬‭ by‬‭ promoting‬‭ this‬‭ initiative‬‭ to‬‭ our‬‭ clients‬‭ and‬‭ in‬‭ our‬‭ office.‬‭ In‬‭ 2019,‬‭ we‬‭ donated‬ ‭ over 10,000 corks to the organization!‬ ‭ 
  • Reuse‬‭ and‬‭ Reduce:‬‭ We‬‭ reuse‬‭ event‬‭ materials‬‭ that‬‭ are‬‭ too‬‭ often‬‭ considered‬‭ disposable‬‭ in‬‭ the‬ ‭ events‬‭ industry.‬‭ We‬‭ reuse‬‭ shipping‬‭ materials‬‭ as‬‭ well‬‭ and‬‭ since‬‭ we‬‭ receive‬‭ and‬‭ ship‬‭ wine‬ ‭ every‬‭ day,‬‭ this‬‭ has‬‭ an‬‭ enormous‬‭ environmental‬‭ impact.‬‭ We‬‭ actively‬‭ recycle‬‭ all‬‭ of‬‭ our‬‭ office‬ ‭ materials and discourage printing as much as possible.‬ 
  • Supporting‬‭ our‬‭ Community‬‭ And,‬‭ whenever‬‭ appropriate,‬‭ we‬‭ seek‬‭ out‬‭ and‬‭ introduce‬‭ clients‬‭ to‬ ‭ participate‬‭ in‬‭ and‬‭ support‬‭ social‬‭ causes‬‭ like‬‭ Wheeling‬‭ Forward,‬‭ a‬‭ charity‬‭ run‬‭ by‬‭ Yannick‬ ‭ Benjamin‬‭ that‬‭ helps‬‭ people‬‭ with‬‭ disabilities‬‭ meet‬‭ their‬‭ short‬‭ and‬‭ long-term‬‭ goals‬‭ by‬ ‭ providing advocacy, mentorship and support service
