\n\t\n\t\t“Our #goodcompany<\/a> mission began with the release of our first Impact Report in 2020, following our first Climate Label certification. In 2021, we released our second Impact Report, coinciding with DEPT\u00ae becoming the first global agency to achieve B Corp certification.\u00a0

Now, with this third edition of our Impact Report, we find ourselves humbled. And that\u2019s okay.”

\n\t\tIf we had to give the <\/strong>DEPT\u00ae 2022 Impact Report a theme, it would be incremental progress.

We\u2019ve had some stumbles and navigated some tricky obstacles over the course of the past year. Taken together, the long and short of it is that DEPT\u00ae isn’t where we wanted to be in our progress toward achieving our #goodcompany goals.

While we don’t shy away from acknowledging this in the 2022 Impact Report, in any case I’m proud that\u2014even though our progress isn’t where we expected\u2014we’ve still made<\/em> progress.

Here’s a snapshot of what that looks like.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\t\tOur global agency continues to get even more global.<\/strong> DEPT\u00ae now spans 20+ (!) countries across the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific. As of the time of our 2021 Impact Report\u2019s release, more than 3,000 people counted themselves as Depsters. Now, we\u2019ve surpassed 4,000!

Depsters are happier than ever.<\/strong> Overall employee happiness increased from 8.4 to 8.5 (on a 10-point scale) over the past year. We\u2019re especially proud of this incremental progress given our rapid growth, because\u2014with 4,000+ employees\u2014there are also more Depsters than ever.

As an industry, tech is still male-dominated. But, at DEPT\u00ae, that\u2019s changing.<\/strong>\u00a0 The percentage of women at DEPT\u00ae increased from 46% to 49.8% over the course of the year. Additionally, the percentage of women managers and the percentage of women in leadership both increased, from 42% to 46% and 34% to 35%, respectively.

We completed a ton of awesome projects\u2014and saw our hard work pay off.<\/strong> Depsters completed 6,203 projects in 2022 and overall client satisfaction increased from 8.1 to 8.3 on our 10-point scale. Our reputation for outstanding work even earned DEPT\u00ae some extra-special recognition: we were named Agency of the Year at the Lovie Awards and Agency Network of the Year at the Webby Awards!

We gave back more than ever.<\/strong> We\u2019re absolutely stoked to share that, this past year, we gave back 0.96% of DEPT\u00ae\u2019s revenue through charitable donations and pro bono work. While we\u2019re still just a hair shy of our 1% for Good Commitment, we\u2019re happy to celebrate a 0.29% increase from 2021.

Our carbon footprint needs some work, but we\u2019re taking baby steps.<\/strong> DEPT\u00ae\u2019s carbon fooprint increased from 10,435 t\/CO2 to 11,113 t\/CO2. Obviously, we have plenty of work to do to meet the reduction goals we\u2019ve set with our climate partners. At the same time, we\u2019re hopeful that we\u2019re heading in the right direction: our emissions per full-time employee decreased from 4.83 to 3.25 t\/CO2.
