Our Values
EQUITY & SUSTAINABILITY
We believe a sustainable world must be fair and just for all people and the planet, and the path forward requires an intersectional approach to address systemic and institutional injustices. See our justice and equity commitment here.
CREATIVITY
We embrace big ideas, imagination, and creative thinking in all of our work, seeking out new and innovative ways to tell stories, uplift social movements, and connect with communities and audiences around the world.
INTEGRITY
We do what we believe is the right thing, even when it’s not easy. We don’t shy away from hard questions or systemic challenges, and maintain the open-mindedness needed to challenge our own beliefs. We seek out perspectives that differ from our own, approach the world with curiosity, and embrace the inherent nuance that comes with big ideas.
INCLUSION
We lead with love and compassion to build social bridges that unite us, focusing on what we have in common over what sets us apart. We recognize that just like in nature, diversity brings strength and resilience, and we seek an inclusive future where ALL people are involved in the decisions that affect them.
