Mangrove Web is a woman-owned website design and development company with a diverse, talented team distributed around the globe. We’ve been building websites since 2009 that amplify the work of change-making organizations and increase the competitive power of businesses owned by historically marginalized people. As a Certified B Corp and Public Benefit Corporation, we prioritize working with businesses that share our value of balancing people, planet, purpose, and profit.
This report shares our success in 2020 as we operate a business based on our values, and serves as our annual benefit report for the year.
Frankly, we were pleasantly surprised when we reviewed our 2020 performance against goals. In a year that we are tired of calling “unprecedented,” we did a good job of staying true to our B Corp values of prioritizing our team, our communities, and the planet as our business grows.

Yes, even 2020 had highlights. Most notably, we felt overwhelming gratitude for our well-established, and well-connected, remote workforce. As other teams scrambled to transform into remote work models, we continued in the comfortable routines we had already built. That said, we admit to Zoom exhaustion and look forward to getting back to person-to-person interactions with clients, at conferences – and our families and friends.
20 new sites and rebuilds for 2020, 7 retainer clients supported throughout the year
