In our fourth annual IMPACT Report (formerly our CSR Report), we reflect on our efforts over the past year to practice Bergmeyer's core beliefs while celebrating the significant growth and changes our collaborative experienced in 2025.

We are proud of our accomplishments this past year, and we are eager to keep up the momentum. As Bergmeyer continues evolving as an exemplary design collaborative, we are resolved to find more ways to connect, collaborate, explore, and especially measure with boldness and curiosity in all four of our focus areas.

True collaboration — the open, respectful exchange of ideas — does more than simply produce better design thinking. It connects people, builds trust, and promotes a sense of belonging. By sharing the joy of the creative process, we empower others.

Bergmeyer believes in leveraging the power of interpersonal connection to improve the human experience, the quality of people's lives, and the world in which we live.

We are committed to using the resources of our organization to enrich and strengthen our communities, to support organizations that advance equity and social justice, to help mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis, and to create opportunities for young people to explore careers in design.

"As we reflect on 2025, I am proud to celebrate Bergmeyer’s first full year as a Certified B Corp. This fourth annual Impact Report (formerly our Corporate Social Responsibility Report) details the progress we have made as we continue to evolve our Design Collaborative and demonstrate what it means for a business to lead with meaningful social and environmental commitments. It highlights the ways we applied our resources this year to enrich and strengthen our communities, support organizations advancing equity and social justice, help mitigate and adapt to the climate crisis, and create opportunities for young people to explore careers in design. Bergmeyer continues to grow as a purpose-driven Design Collaborative, defined by the values, priorities, and commitments that guide our work. As we deepen our focus on transparency, accountability, and positive impact, we strive to model what a socially responsible and environmentally conscious design firm can be. We hope that you find inspiration in this report as we continue to boldly engage with the world through civic leadership and through thoughtful, creative, and inclusive design practices."
