Our approach to Corporate Citizenship bridges the gap between business and the world we live in. The Rothstein Kass Foundation contributes to organizations that support the betterment of children’s lives and the environment, our employees actively participate in philanthropic activities such as food drives and toy donations, and our Environmental Focus Group finds meaningful ways to minimize our impact on the environment through office recycling, waste management and energy conservation. We are active members of organizations such as the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, The Green Grid, and The Green Challenges, among others.
