Our Values
Inclusive Workplaces are Mandatory
All workplaces can and should be explicitly anti-racist, inclusive, accessible and culturally responsive to the employees and community they serve. All employees, regardless of disability status, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or religion should be welcome and accommodated in the workplace. We can listen, learn and lead with compassion for people.
We Are Responsible for Our Planet
​While corporations, governments, and large-scale agriculture are the primary contributors to environmental destruction (and environmental racism), we are still responsible for making choices in our operations that lower our environmental impact and contribute to a thriving planet.
Ethical Profit is Possible
We can run profitable businesses AND have a positive impact on the world. Nonprofits, B-Corps, Co-ops, and small businesses can serve their communities, live their mission, and ensure they do it with integrity. We're here to show you how!
Thriving Wages for All
A business plan that includes paying poverty wages to employees is not sound, it’s simply a plan for exploiting the working poor for the benefit of owners, leaders or investors. We can build organizations that pay thriving wages for everyone and ensure owners and leaders can sustain a comfortable lifestyle too.
We're Better Together
Humans are at our best when we're in community. We thrive when we're bringing our gifts to the table, asking for help without shame, and celebrating the diverse and meaningful ways others show up around us. We believe that a rising tide lifts all ships. That means we're focused on community over competition. Because there's room for everyone here.
