Optimy partners with Vivemar to save baby sea turtles
Sea turtles play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the ocean and are proclaimed as a key species for human survival. But their survival - and the balance of life in the sea - is being threatened. Vivemar is a cooperative society in Oaxaca, Mexico that helps save baby turtle eggs and helps these gentle creatures make it safely to the sea, their home.
- Since 2011, Vivemar has saved hundreds of thousands of baby turtles. With the help of the Optimy community, they will save even more of these gentle creatures.
- We have partnered with Vivemar to help save baby turtles and preserve the ecological balance of the sea.
- For every review our customers leave us on Capterra or G2, we will support Vivemar in saving baby sea turtles.
- Customers who leave us the most reviews will receive a special memento from Vivemar and will also be featured by Vivemar on Instagram.
Unleashing the power of collective action
Employee volunteering and donation programs are a great way of mobilizing and engaging employees to contribute to causes that align with your company's values. To encourage our customers to get more employees involved, we are leading the industry towards a business model that puts people and causes over profits.
No charge for extra volunteers
No transaction fee on employee donations
By not charging a transaction fee on top of the payment processing fee, more money will reach someone in need. This underscores our commitment to help corporations be the force for good that they can be.
