Today, Mission Partners released its annual Social Impact Report: a reflection on what we achieved during the last calendar year alongside our clients, partners, and colleagues. This report is an essential part of being a Certified B Corporation™, and we are proud to share how we spent last year putting our values into action for positive impact. 

At Mission Partners, 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. 

We know with certainty that when we are living these values – fully and universally across our team – we can achieve our greatest impact. 2023 was a solid reminder of that. Here are a few highlights from this year’s report: 

• We supported 40+ purpose-driven organizations, advancing breakthroughs in public health, higher education, sustainability, democracy, journalism, and the arts. 
• We re-engineered our compensation model in service of transparency and pay parity and rolled out a new core competencies model that further reduces bias in the hiring and promotions process.   
• We published a best-selling book on courageous communications and hosted 2 more seasons of our award-winning podcast, Mission Forward. 
• We expanded our groundbreaking Social Entrepreneur in Residence program to address the racial disparity among communications agency owners. 
• We published national research that examined the role of executive communication in advancing business strategies and the public good. 
• And, we furthered our commitment to building a work environment where mental health and well-being are prioritized, and we were recognized with a Platinum Bell Seal from Mental Health America for this effort. 

In this year’s Social Impact Report, you’ll learn more about how we lived these 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.
