We Believe in Planet Earth.
We are pleased that our SpikeFli Telecom & Technology Expense Management as a Service (XMaaS) company has the ability to help the planet in the following ways.
(as guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals).
Goal 1: No Poverty -- Donate What You Don't Use
If you do not even know what you have, how can you know what to donate and when? Using SpikeFli Telecom & Technology Expense Management as a Service, you can keep track of all your telecom & technology assets so as they age out, need replacing or retiring, you can responsibly dispose of or recycle them.
We’re also currently working on an initiative with a few community groups to support our clients in donating their gently used Smartphones to underprivileged children, and people escaping domestic violence. More to come on that!
Goal 2: Zero Hunger -- Waste Less Food and Support Local Farmers
We are aware that every foolishly spent dollar on assets could be redirected in communities to help feed those in need.
We’re also proud to share that since the inception of our business, our yearly charitable contributions have been donated to the local food banks that support some of our clients communities. To date this has included Calgary, Medicine Hat and Wood Buffalo, Alberta. Please join us by supporting these agencies?
Goal 3: Good Health & Well Being -- Vaccinate your Family
This global goal was established to protect citizens long before the COVID-19 pandemic. We are believers in science and are vaccinated as is suggested.
Goal 4: Quality Education -- Help Educate the Children in your Community
SpikeFli hires and trains employees so they are not only helpful to our company but will have ever-growing skill-sets for their whole lives.
Goal 5: Gender Equality -- Empower Women and Girls and Ensure their Equal Rights
As a women-led company (and 95% woman owned), SpikeFli knows firsthand to advocate for women and girls. Every woman and girl we bring into our technology company advances all of us toward a more equitable future.
Don’t forget to check back on what SpikeFli is planning to formalize an easy way for our clients to donate gently used smartphones to underprivileged kids, and people experiencing domestic violence (See “Goal # 1 - No Poverty” above).
Goal 6: Clean Water & Sanitation -- Avoid Wasting Water
SpikeFli is based in water-rich Canada. We don't use much water in our company but for basic drinking and toileting and we are grateful for our privilege of clean water and sanitation.
Goal 7: Affordable & Clean Energy -- Use only Energy-Efficient Appliances & Light Bulbs
SpikeFli has committed to low-energy light bulbs in our offices. We commit to energy efficiency whenever and wherever possible. We also support our clients in the cost management of their IoT devices that are placed in hydro-meters. This technology drastically reduces energy consumption in their commercial properties.
Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth -- Create Job Opportunities for Youth
SpikeFli has hired many a youngster to help out. This helps our company and gives additional life and office skills to them. Win-win!
Goal 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure -- Fund Projects that Provide Basic Infrastructure
With SpikeFli's XMaaS, companies can work on infrastructures while having visibility to the building blocks of communication (phones, cell phones, IoT locations and more). After all, what is more basic than a phone?
Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities -- Support the Marginalized and Disadvantaged
We are proud that SpikeFli's XMaaS product is the great equalizer. We serve customers with a few cell phones to companies with 1000s of phone lines they are responsible to manage. Every customer has the same access to our powerful SpikeFli tool and its capabilities!
Goal 11: Sustainable & Communities -- Bike, Walk or Use Public Transportation
Well, up here in Calgary in the winter this is harder for us and we probably could use a little improvement on this one. Fortunately, most of our work is from one location and we do many of our meetings online so that helps keep our carbon footprint small.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production -- Recycle Paper, Plastic, Glass & Aluminum
At our offices (and homes) we do just that: Recycle! We believe that our SpikeFli XMaaS keeps track of phone assets so that companies can responsibly dispose of their unwanted assets, too!
Goal 13: Climate Action -- Act Now to Stop Global Warming
SpikeFli believes that all actions to reduce global warming is effort spent in the right direction. Where we can find ways to do this, we do our part! See Goal # 15 - “Life on Land” below to learn about what we do to stop global warming.
Goal 14: Life Below Water -- Avoid Plastic Bags to Keep the Ocean Clean
SpikeFli rarely uses plastic bags because we are a Service (not a product). However, this is a good reminder to keep vigilant in our daily lives.
Goal 15: Life on Land -- Plant a Tree and Help the Environment
SpikeFli pledges to plant 10 trees every month to remind ourselves that we are for the Earth. We support Tree Canada to carry out our tree-planting effort. Thank you to Danielle St-Aubin (CEO, at Tree Canada) and her team for making the world a greener place!

Goal 16: Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions -- Stand Up for Human Rights
SpikeFli is a company dedicated to the ideal of human rights for all. Where we can be a contributor to these efforts, we will.
Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals -- Lobby Your Government to Boost Development Financing
SpikeFli has been a recipient of the Canadian government's Scientific Research and Experimental Development program over the years. We applaud Canada for supporting small business, knowing that as we succeed, so do the people we employ as well as the businesses we interact with.
Sincerely,
The SpikeFli Team
