Impact at Ledgy

We’re creating a world where entrepreneurship drives positive change for everyone. We believe impact starts from within and we’re committed to acting responsibly, making a difference for people and the planet.

Climate action and sustainability

The climate crisis is the challenge of our generation. We passionately believe this is something everyone in society should take seriously. We are taking action to ensure that our growth doesn’t come at the expense of the planet, but rather at the benefit of it.

Our climate action committee

Ledgy’s internal climate action committee works to ensure that our growth doesn’t come at the expense of the planet, but rather at the benefit of it.

The committee was established early on and has always included a leadership sponsor and advocate. All employees are invited to participate in the climate action committee to foster climate action internally and externally, while maximizing our potential and leverage for long-term impact.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

We believe that bringing diverse people together and empowering them to contribute equally is necessary to spark innovation, connection, and inspire greater change. Therefore, we are committed to actively cultivating a work culture that makes space for all people — especially historically marginalized groups — to feel safe and valued to be authentically and freely themselves.

Our DEI Committee

Our engineering traineeship program

At Ledgy, we really like doing software engineering. And we think everyone should feel like engineering is for them. 

 In 2020, we launched Women in Web, our engineering traineeship program for women interested in exploring careers in web development, to change the unfortunate rarity of having a gender-balanced engineering team.

Since then we’ve launched a second iteration of our traineeship program, to encourage people with unconventional backgrounds outside computer science to venture into web development.

We are grateful to all our participants who have joined us in boldly going where no engineering team has gone before.
