Our Values
Service
We accept our greater responsibility to contribute to the world, fulfill our commitments, and engage servant leadership to support the goals and dreams of others.
Examples of how we practice this value:
- 1-3 hours of free coaching provided per month to up and coming leaders from marginalized communities (35 hours in 2022, 39 in 2023)
- Internal mentoring structure for practicum students, parents on maternity leave, and migrant workers (3 in 2022, 2 in 2023)
- Living wages for employees, and above market consulting rates for all contractors
- Monthly feedback loops and accountable integration of team voice in project work
- Sustainable project design that decreases our client’s reliance on our services and builds their internal capacity
Our Values
Audacity
We have courage to imagine beyond barriers. We exercise courage, engage radical candor, appreciate failure, and aren’t afraid to challenge growth in ourselves and others.
Examples of how we practice this value:
- Select to work with industries that have had less attention, have been suppressed and oppressed, or are considered fringe or too difficult to transform
- Challenge our clients to stay off social media in the interim and instead focus their ESG work within their own organization first
- Employ lived experience leaders using an ethical inclusion structure in projects involving marginalized communities (9 in 2022, 11 in 2023)
- Address institutional betrayal and critical race trauma in our education and teaching series (63 hours in 2022, 81 hours in 2023)
Our Values
Soul
We are fully alive and electric about our work, purpose, and relationships, and believe organizations can and should have a soul. We strive to be, and build organizations rooted in character, ethics, and values.
Examples of how we practice this value:
- Discounted or pro-bono consulting services to Indigenous organizations and communities, and non-profit organizations ($35,892 discounted in 2022, $44,812 discounted in 2023)
- Exercise ethical storytelling within our teams by supporting and protecting intersectional identities
- Employ well-rounded perspectives in our education, including teachings and wisdom from communities of color, Indigenous communities, and interdisciplinary approaches
- Commit a minimum of 25% of our net income into SRI, ESG, and impact investing (27.2% in 2022, 28.9% in 2023)
- Developed and run the Iolanda Violini Scholarship Fund, an educational investment fund for Survivors of human trafficking, and contribute to the UBC Sauder Chinook Scholars Program
