how we reach out

As a community-focussed team, giving back is of paramount concern to the team at Underground Communications and we believe that there are many ways that we can make a difference. We have several community initiatives, including committing to providing 1% of our corporate revenue in donations and 5% of our billable hours to pro bono work. Our staff are also provided with the pro rata equivalent of 16 volunteer hours per year, either with our company charity partner or volunteer/community organisation of their choice.

whitelion – pro bono agency of choice

Our association with Whitelion began in 2015 when Karen, our Creative Director attended her first Bailout event where she spent the night in a Yasmar, a former juvenile detention centre. She was drawn to the work that the organisation does with disadvantaged young people and the experience had a profound effect on her.

Over three years of taking part in the Bailout event, she formed a relationship with Whitelion founder Mark Watt and, in 2018 Underground Communications began providing pro bono services to the organisation. Karen is also a member of the Whitelion NSW Ambassador team.

From 1 January 2018, we made the decision to donate 1% of our revenue directly to the Whitelion Youth Homelessness Project in Sydney’s CBD where we know we can see the direct impact that we have.

B Local Sydney

One of our core values as a business is community. Building it, engaging with it and being a part of it. This is why we are founding member of the B Local Sydney community and are actively involved in the creation and implementation of events that can educate, inspire and engage other businesses to join the larger B Corp community.

As well as being active participants of the B Local Sydney community our founder Karen is the 2020/21 Events Chair which provides the whole team with the opportunity to get involved in creating exciting and impactful events.
