The Fortus Foundation
Simplifying CSR for meaningful, measurable impact
As a company that's grown from the ground up, we understand first-hand the power of community and a strong network in driving success. And so, we wanted to take the usual meaning of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and supercharge it - to create a direct and impactful mechanism to give back to those around us.
In 2024, we launched the Fortus Foundation – a dedicated platform designed to support communities, drive social impact, and foster positive change. With our annual donation of 1% of profits and turnover, we cover all running costs, so every penny donated goes straight to where it's needed most.
Our goal is to make it easier for businesses like ours to give back and meet their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives in a meaningful and efficient way.
Check out our video to see how it all works.
We understand that launching CSR initiatives can be daunting - from finding the right resources and producing impact reports to hiring costly experts. On top of that, ensuring compliance and delivering meaningful, measurable outcomes can make it hard to know where to begin.
The Fortus Foundation simplifies this process, allowing your business to make the difference you want to see. By committing to donate just 1% of your profits, you’ll become an official Fortus Foundation 1%er, and we’ll handle the rest.
Ways to give
Contributing to the Fortus Foundation is straightforward, impactful, and truly meaningful.
