In giving a percentage of EVERY order to charity. Our current charity partner is 4 Paws for Humanity – a very cool non-profit that provides service dogs to children and veterans in need.

AT OUR CORE
Be Remark-able
When you interact with us, you’re going to want to tell people about it. That’s because we work really hard to deliver a product, service, and journey so blindingly awesome that you can’t help but share it. When you talk about us, you’ll use adjectives like fun, honest, dependable, super fun, personal, passionate, enthusiastic, funny, tenacious, and really exceptionally fun. Oh, and the font on this core value is larger…for a reason. It’s the core value that all the others ladder up to.
Fanatically Personal – Our Special Sauce
We believe that people don’t want to do business with businesses. Instead, they prefer to do business with people. Real people. At ROAD iD, you’re going to interact with people that have personality, heart, and soul. You’re not just a number, and we’re not just another faceless company. To that end, we’re gonna treat YOU the way WE want to be treated. It’s just that simple. Be warned – you’re gonna want to strap your socks on tight because this fanatical dedication to keeping it real has a tendency to to blow socks clean off.
Care Deeply
We care deeply. Like Grand Canyon deep. We stand behind everything we do and every product we sell. No shortcuts. No excuses. We’re going to work really hard to do things right the first time. When we make a mistake, we’re gonna own it, and make it right. We’ve got your back.
Ear to the Ground, Eye to the Sky
Like Vanilla Ice said, “if there was a problem, yo I’ll solve it.” (we know you still have the cassette tape in a box somewhere). We’re never completely satisfied and realize there’s always room for improvement. We listen more than we talk because we know most great ideas come from those closest to the issue. To this end, our ears perk up when someone has a problem or experiences friction, as this usually indicates room for improvement. See something that needs fixin’? Let us know.
Whoop it Up
Yeah, ROAD iD is a serious product, and we have some very serious goals. That doesn’t mean we’re going to be boring or stuffy. We’re going to have fun, use too many puns, be a little weird, and laugh as much as possible. We realize that if we take ourselves too seriously, nobody else will.
Purpose over Profit
It’s not about the money. Yes, we have to care about the lines (specifically the bottom one) mostly because our staff likes to get paid…and rent is due on the 1st. But, at ROAD iD, we put our purpose first. More specifically, we’re laser focused on Saving Lives, Providing Peace of Mind, and Fueling Adventure. Our philosophy is this: If we fervently and ethically pursue our purpose, put our customers first, and put forth our best effort, then the bottom line will take care of itself. Furthermore, we commit to being good corporate citizens by financially supporting non-profits that we believe in. But, we DON’T simply make donations with extra profits that are laying around at the end of the year. Instead, we put that commitment first. Donations come out of revenue, not profit. Giving back is not an afterthought. By way of example, ROAD iD Gives Back is an ongoing promise to donate a portion of every (yes, EVERY) order to charity. Our current charity partner, 4 Paws for Ability, is a remarkable non-profit that provides service dogs to children and veterans in need. Like ROAD iD, they’re saving lives and fueling adventure every day. Check ’em out. |
