Our Values
We are courageous
Acting to protect our planet and all its inhabitants takes courage. We face opposition and adversity, often from the highest levels of power. We are courageous in our pursuit for progress and justice, and we value the courage of our partners in speaking out on the issues that matter most. No matter the challenges ahead, whether we win or lose in the short-term, we always persevere. We may change course or seek out help, but we do not give up.
We act with integrity
We act with integrity in everything that we do. We are honest and upfront. We base decisions on evidence rather than assumption and adhere to ethical principles. We are humble when we are not experts in an area and we seek to elevate the work of others. Acting with integrity builds trust – and trust is crucial for building and maintaining the reputation we have earned.
We embrace collaboration
We are stronger when we work together. Our colleagues and partners are based in many parts of the world, are from diverse backgrounds, and bring a multitude of skills, experiences and ideas. Building teams, seeking out diversity, and collaborating effectively is key if we are to deliver the progress we need for people and planet. Acting within a much wider ecosystem, we always strive to be team players by elevating and amplifying the work of others, recognising that when one of us wins, we all win.
We care for people and planet
We show up to work every day because we believe in the fundamental importance of caring for our planet. But to do so, we also must extend this care, respect and kindness to each other and to ourselves. The importance we place on caring for people and planet will always transcend differences in background, beliefs, or disagreements in approach.
