Despite the challenges of the pandemic TPG has maintained a strong corporate culture and focus on customer service, as evidenced by a 100% positive referral rate from clients. This year marked the 15th anniversary of the company along with a number of other accomplishments:
- Recognized in the top 25 best boutique consulting firms to work for in 2020 in North America by Vault.com
- Won a Silver International Business Award for Company of the Year - Business or Professional Services – Small Business
In addition to providing exceptional service to clients, there is a strong sense of corporate social responsibility and commitment by our team to give back to the community.
‘Purpose Beyond Profit’ is an initiative to give back by serving organizations that inspire us and help the next generation prosper. Each year TPG has a goal of donating a portion of our team’s available resource hours to provide in-kind consulting services to not-for-profit organizations. As the effectiveness and strategic decision-making of not-for-profit organizations is improved, a greater percentage of their annual donations is redirected from administrative and overhead costs to the actual causes they serve.
Due to COVID-19, TPG increased PBP efforts because many not-for-profits were facing fundraising shortfalls, TPG’s work with organizations such as Toronto Humane society, Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, Youth Without Shelter and Eva’s Initiative has helped some of Canada’s most vulnerable communities access much needed resources during a difficult time. TPG plans on continuing these efforts into 2021.
