Our Values in Action
Mission Partners’ 2023 Social Impact Report
A Letter From Our Founder
Dear Friend,
As a purpose-driven social impact communications firm and Certified B Corporation™, our values are the heart and soul of our company. Our values drive our business decisions, guide our client service approach, and inform our workplace processes. Our values also hold us accountable to each other and to our work:
We value people first.
We value integrity and excellence.
We value courageous leadership.
We value strategic thinking and thoughtful execution.
We value continuous learning and growth.
Operating in service of these values means being willing to go wherever our employees, our communities, and our planet require—and to see those actions through even when it becomes difficult.
We know with certainty that when we are living these values—fully and universally across our team—we can achieve our greatest impact. And 2023 was a solid reminder of that.
In this year’s Social Impact Report, learn how we lived our values and the positive benefits they had on our employees, our communities, and our planet. As you read, we hope you find that values matter, and when they’re clear, the impact is undeniable.
With love,
Carrie Fox (she/her)
Founder and CEO
