Mission Partners is thrilled to announce that we have been recognized as a 2023 Real Leaders Impact Award recipient. As a women-owned social impact and strategic communications firm and small business committed to prioritizing people, planet, and purpose over profit, we are humbled to be among the Top 300 Impact Companies of 2023. Around the world, these impact companies are working to solve existential problems through innovative and sustainable market-based solutions. This is Mission Partners’ second time appearing on this prestigious list, previously receiving this award in 2021.   

“Working in partnership with our colleagues, clients, partners, and community members every step of the way to use the power of communications to advance social justice, Mission Partners is honored to be among other top-impact and values-aligned companies recognized by Real Leaders for our social impact,” said Carrie Fox, Founder and CEO of Mission Partners.  

Calculated by the Real Leaders ‘Force for Good’ score, the Impact Awards considers the company’s 5-year sales growth, revenue, and B Impact Assessment to objectively rank the companies. Key to Mission Partners’ recognition on this year’s list is our B Corp score— a 30+ point increase since Mission Partners’ initial certification in 2018.  

“Receiving this year’s Real Leaders Impact Award is a clear proof point that our values-driven approach is maximizing impact for our business and our clients,” said Bridget Pooley, Partner and Chief Operating Officer. “Everyone benefits when we stop thinking about profit as the primary motivator and instead think about the impact that we have every day on our world and on the people who we get to work with.” 

The 2023 Real Leaders Award list features leading companies of all sizes and from a variety of industries that prioritize their social impact, such as Danone, Ben & Jerry’s, and Patagonia. The winners will be honored during a virtual ceremony on February 16, 2023. 

We are proud to be among the top impact companies who are leading the ‘force for good’ movement. As we enter our seventh year of business, the entire Mission Partners team thanks you for your partnership, your support, and your willingness to be on this journey with us, as we collectively work to leave the world better than we found it.
