Our Purpose
As a Certified B Corporation, our work is rooted in our core principles and commitment to our purpose.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to create the conditions for human and natural communities to thrive. We do this by helping our partners improve the performance of conservation and development programs.
Principles
Environmental Improvement
We choose work and make decisions that enhance the physical, economic, and institutional systems that support natural and human communities.
Stewardship
We value and enhance the assets that are temporarily entrusted to our care or that we influence. We steward relationships with clients, staff, partners, and stakeholders by respecting their needs, priorities, and potential. We ensure taxpayer and donor funds are invested to produce their intended outcomes and actively look out for unintended consequences within complex systems.
Enduring Change
We develop tools and practices that alter the basis for decision making by aligning economic and environmental objectives. We are systems thinkers who create tailored solutions that work for our partners and their communities beyond the life of our engagement.
