Year in Review: 2024
COMMUNITY SERVICE
We’re proud to build partnerships with impactful community organizations and empower our employees to make a difference. As a benefit each year, each of our team members has access to two paid volunteer days to support local organizations and causes of their choice.
Below, our team is featured working at Auer Farm for Earth Day and the Connecticut River Conservancy’s ‘Source to Sea Cleanup’.
eWASTE RECYCLING
During this year’s 4th Annual eWaste Recycling Day, we collected 7,214 pounds of electronic waste for responsible recycling, keeping it out of traditional waste streams. Thank you to Green Monster eCycling, LLC, and all of our clients who took the time to drop off electronic waste—your support helps reduce eWaste's impact on our planet. Together, we’re making a difference and can’t wait to continue next year!
OUR GROWING TEAM
2024 has brought us some awesome new talent and professional growth for our team.

MID-YEAR EVENT
Every summer, we gather not just to review our progress and celebrate our accomplishments, but also to reconnect and have some much-needed fun. This year at Foxwoods Resort Casino, we cut loose by zip-lining above the treetops, racing go-karts, and axe throwing! We also found time to unwind and enjoy each other's company.

BEST PLACES TO WORK
Once again, The Walker Group was celebrated as a Best Place to Work in Connecticut. We are so proud to be acknowledged as a Best Place to Work for the 6th consecutive year.
Congratulations to all the companies who participate and who work hard to be ranked by their employees as a Best Place to Work.
SUPPORTING WHAT MATTERS MOST
As a social enterprise, we are committed to sharing one-third of our distributed profits to support local charities. This year, with those profits, we were able to support 10 remarkable organizations across Connecticut, thoughtfully selected by our employees. The focus? Supporting basic human needs, advancing environmental sustainability, and encouraging social enterprise.
These funds are going to groups doing the work that truly makes a difference—whether it’s helping families, protecting our planet, or fostering innovation for the greater good. It’s a powerful reminder that when we work together, big things can happen.
PPT-OWNED NEWS
In case you missed it, we’ve made history as Connecticut’s first Perpetual Purpose Trust (PPT)-owned company! Our official transition to PPT-owned happened in 2023, but we have been spreading the word about this innovative new business model all year. We are transcending business as usual ensuring our dedication to Social Enterprise lasts in perpetuity.
