Our Vision
- The business and nonprofit sectors are powerful partners in improving the conditions of daily life in the myriad local and global communities in which they operate.
- Business savvy and resources combined with nonprofit knowledge and experience with combating social issues can catalyze positive change far beyond what either could attain working alone.
- Business philanthropy is a strategic investment with bottomline benefits for the company as well as the nonprofit partner.
Our Values
Excellence
We uphold the highest standards in ethics and performance in working with members while actively promoting a work environment that allows our people to learn, grow, utilize their passion, leadership and other talents, and share monetarily in our success.
Sustainable Business
We add concrete value for our members - inspiring them to achieve excellence and profitability as we do - by being sustainable - focusing simultaneously on people, planet and profit. We provide our members the simple, yet effective tools and resources needed to be a sustainable business and make a positive difference in communities.
Community Involvement
We actively support nonprofit/nongovernmental organizations locally, nationally, and internationally that are dedicated to microenterprise development, world peace and intercultural exchange, and social justice. Our integrated approach moves beyond "checkbook philanthropy" alone and includes working with nonprofits in a variety of ways. We donate 10% of our profits to our nonprofit partners. We believe business can "Do Well by Doing Good."
Integrity
We sustain our values in a competitive marketplace including being truthful, authentic, and honoring commitments. We walk our talk on business sustainability and philanthropy, serving as a role model and inspiration for other small and medium-sized businesses. We believe "how you do anything is how you do everything."
