We have a committee called the Planeteers that includes people who are passionate about our environment. The goals of the program are to reduce the environmental impact Online as a company has and to promote through education a reduced waste and environmentally friendly lifestyle for Onliners.

Planeteers vision/mission:
Empowering Online, Onliners, and our clients to be eco-friendly with a zero-waste attitude in their day-to-day lives and business dealings, through providing tools and knowledge. A company that is mindful of the environmental impact of all their initiatives, big or small, and that goes above and beyond to ensure products they are use are environmentally friendly.

Online believes that all people and companies should care about each other. This belief is so embedded in our DNA that “Caring & Empathy: We look out for each other” is our first core value in our Onliner’s Code. We also believe that when we genuinely care, we give – in whatever way feels right for each of us, whether that’s our time, our money, or our skills. And that benefits everyone. As a company, we support initiatives in four key areas: social services, health, children, and education. Online and Onliners give back to people in our communities to help propel them forward to better lives – because we care.

We love supporting Onliners who are out there doing good things in their communities!
