Our Core Values

SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

In a modern economy, most adults spend the majority of their waking hours at work. Doing so in a business that deeply reflects your values is a major force for positive change.

COMMUNITY

The issues we are facing as a human family go beyond what any one person or group can address. Collective action is essential to move towards a more just and sustainable world.

INCLUSION

The changes we long for require us to step beyond the divided ways of living and working we inherited. Real transformation must include attention to diversity, equity and inclusion.

WELL-BEING

We can only sustain business to the extent we care for the humans involved. This includes ourselves, our employees, our customers, and those we source from.
