Case Studies

Total Impact Capital partnered with United Planet for a five-day Corporate Quest in Costa Rica, designed to bring their global team together through purpose-driven experiences. Set in the Monteverde Cloud Forest, the team engaged in hands-on conservation work including wildlife monitoring and trail maintenance, while also dedicating time to strategy discussions and team reflection. The experience combined meaningful volunteer impact with leadership development and team building, helping participants strengthen connections, align on future goals, and contribute to environmental sustainability in a lasting way.

A global medical devices company partnered with United Planet for a week-long Corporate Quest in Mérida, Mexico, bringing together nearly 30 team members from across the world for hands-on service and meaningful collaboration. The experience focused on healthcare, education, and community support, with volunteers contributing to medical procedures, leading STEAM activities in local schools, and helping construct a community kitchen serving children in need. Beyond the impact on the ground, the Quest created space for cross-functional team building, shared learning, and deeper human connection, strengthening relationships while contributing to lasting community outcomes.
