The Eco Helper supports entrepreneurs, small businesses, non-profits, agencies, & studios who use their business for good – for people & the planet over profit – with sustainable virtual business assistance.
Through optimized admin, operations, systems, & marketing support, our clients are better equipped to maximize their impact. Not only do we strive for efficiency, but digital sustainability is at the forefront of how we operate.
We also co-host free monthly events with the Ecopreneur Community. Let’s face it, as entrepreneurs work can get lonely. And as entrepreneurs who care about more than just making a profit, it’s nice to be around like-minded people who get it. These events were created to help us all stay organized, hold each other accountable, and of course, have some fun doing it.

Commited to the SDGs
Goal #8:
We present on ethical & sustainable outsourcing to educate colleagues and fellow entrepreneurs on how to go about hiring team members in an aligned way. During this presentation we talk about SDG #8, specifically, Target 8.5- Full Employment & Decent Work With Equal Pay.
There are many people within the online business space who tell others to hire freelancers from areas of the world with a lower cost of living for a very low rate. The work they want to outsource is often highly valuable and would allow business owners to grow and scale while making large sums of money on the backs of underpaid workers. We also touch on the importance of creating a business that is inclusive and safe for POC, LGBT, & disabled contractors and employees, encouraging them to be a part of the solution, not of oppression.
Goal #13:
As 1% for the Planet Members, we donate 1% of our revenue to environmental organizations.
We also use our marketing to educate our audience about climate news and ways they can take action. We co-host monthly events with the Ecopreneur Community such as Digital Cleanups to help entrepreneurs reduce their digital carbon footprint & Happy Hours to discuss the ways in which we can individually and collectively take action for people and the planet.
