Diverse voices from across multiple sectors are a must in meeting the challenges we face. In deciding who we work with, we evaluate on a case-by-case basis. We often work so deeply within companies—with these individuals—it alters how they see their responsibilities and work in the world moving forward.

Prospective collaborators recognize the challenges we face and their role in creating solutions. We’re not looking for companies to purpose-wash, but rather for individuals and entities with a genuine commitment to change. We seek partners open to learning and prepared for an honest relationship where we can disagree.

While, at times, partnerships can be challenging, as long as we keep moving in the same direction and remain committed to positive results, we can take it on—together.
