Bikestation, a division of Mobis Transportation Alternative, plans, designs, and operates bike-transit centers, enabling bicycling and other alternatives to be an integral part of the transportation system. Their facilities offer secure bicycle parking and related services to make cyclists' lives easier. Park your bike at one of our facilities and you can be assured that your vehicle is secure and covered. The B Corporation certification helps us by getting the word out that we’re a great company with whom to do business – by acting on our behalf in situations where more voices can make a stronger impact, and by bringing us together with other B Corps who collectively are made up of some of the smartest people to ever get together in one room. Bicycling is the most efficient form of transportation ever created. It is good for our health, good for our environment, and good for our budget. It is also fun, and helps create more vibrant and safe communities. Connecting bicyclists with transit is a natural marriage. By bringing bicycles into the mix, we can increase the area that a single transit station can draw from to an average of 2-3 miles.

We envision a world where all businesses focus on the triple-bottom line and where all non-profits adopt technology and management practices that help them magnify their impact. By setting an example with our own performance and by supporting non-profits to improve their performance, iContact aims to be an industry leader in promoting blended-value business models. Our social and environmental mission is encapsulated in our value of “Making a Positive Wake”, which drives us to give back to our community, build up our people, and minimize our impact on the environment. To be successful and sustainable, we believe a company must be willing to institutionalize commitments based on its values. • Community impact: iContact’s 4-1s program sets goals for the company to give back to and build up its community. 1. Provide 1% of product for free to non-profits in North Carolina 2. Set aside 1% of employee time for volunteering: employees get 2.5 paid days off per year to volunteer in the community 3. Donate 1% of payroll to charity 4. Set up a foundation with 1% of iContact equity • Employees: we are proud of our work culture which is stimulating, quirky and fun. Our team members are engaged in making the company better for our customers, and are intimately involved in fostering the company’s TBL. For example, an employee “Changemakers” group develops pro bono workshops for non-profits and brainstorms ways that iContact can improve its operations. • Environmental impact: : iContact is committed to a “measure, reduce, offset, report” philosophy for all of the materials and energy we consume. We set annual goals in the areas of energy use, travel, waste and procurement, monitor and measure our progress against those goals, and report our performance to employees, our Board and the general public.
