Steps Charity is a South African charity that provides funds, information and support for kids with clubfoot and other limb disorders.

On March 5 and 6th, employees of 6S Marketing took part in the annual United Way’s Day of Caring program. This was a great opportunity for people from our workplace to come together and make a difference in the community. The United Way is a not for profit organization which engages many projects from volunteering. Our company chose to volunteer for the YWCA Vancouver Rooftop Garden project.

6S and its employees value community participation, whether it’s within the Internet marketing community or within the community around us.

6S is involved in the Internet marketing community via various industry organizations including SEMPO, IIMA, Vancouver Board of Trade, and more. 6S employees also encourage education in Internet marketing through participation and presentations at post-secondary institutions.

Community initiatives are considered an essential part of being a responsible company and involved citizen. 6S employees are involved in various community groups and fundraisers including Art for Camp Good Times, Walk for Breast Cancer, Run for Prostate Cancer, North Shore Rescue and more.

Is the term “business ethics” an oxy-moron? At 6S, we believe that ethics and business go hand in hand. Whether it’s day-to-day operations, treatment of employees, or the company’s community involvement, we believe that ethics is an integral part of a company’s culture.

Ethics in Search Marketing

There are two types of search marketing companies; “black hat” and “white hat”. Black hat SEO’s use tricks and tactics that are against the search engines’ terms of use documents. These tactics may get your site ranked quickly, but may also result in your site getting banned. White hat SEO companies employ tactics that follow the search engines’ terms of use and provide long term sustainable results. Black hat tactics may work very well in the short term, but in our experience, never work over the long term. 6S is without question a white hat SEO company.

Employees

6S believes that allowing people to lead a balanced life that integrates, health, family, work and social events will create productive and long-term employees. 6S expects employees to go the extra mile and complete projects on time and above expectations, but we also believe that in return for this service, companies should provide flexibility and time to enjoy life beyond the office. 6S encourages healthy living, involvement in community events and the experience of new activities via company events.

6S’ operations will do no harm to people or the environment. As an Internet marketing company this is a fairly easy mantra to follow as all of our work and the majority of our reports are done electronically, generating little impact on the environment. In addition, the vast majority of our employees walk to work or use transit.

By signing up for MakeGood, our company was able to make a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society. The CCS is a national, community-based organization of volunteers, whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.2009-07-20 18:08:21
