We aim for everyone to feel welcomed and valued for who they are in our workplace, either by not treating people differently because of their nationality, their ethnicity, their marital situation, their age, their sexual orientation , or any other characteristics that are irrelevant to their work; or by making accommodations so employees do not feel differently, by providing amenities for employees and visitors with different abilities, or if they are caring for their or others' mental or physical health or welfare.

RavenPack's corporate headquarters in Marbella, Spain is located in a region prone to wild fires. When a forest burns, the entire ecosystem is durably impacted. Replanting trees and caring for them are some of the more effective ways to restore the environment, so in November 2021, RavenPackers from around the world gathered to plant 400 trees to rebuild an urban forest in Mijas.
Caring for the environment also means looking after endangered or vulnerable animals. In December 2023, the global RavenPack team came together to volunteer at the Donkey Dreamland association, a sanctuary dedicated to caring for abandoned or mistreated donkeys. In a single day, RavenPackers repaired stables, improved pathways, and cleared areas overgrown with vegetation. Amidst the hard work, the team also found moments to bond with the gentle donkeys and experience firsthand the valuable work carried out by the association.
RavenPack takes action where we believe we can contribute positively to social situation by leveraging our expertise and data to serve common good. Over the past couple of years, this commitment has been most visible in two initiatives with broad repercutions: our Coronavirus monitor, and our 2020 US Election Monitor.
