Tenacity

We are tenacious and daring in the defense of human rights and pursuit of corporate accountability. We pursue every feasible strategic avenue to help our community partners achieve their goals.

Excellence and Credibility

We conduct ourselves with professionalism and integrity, and we strive for excellence in all our work. We are committed to ensuring that our research and advocacy is always credible, compelling, and based in evidence.

Intellectual Curiosity

We have a healthy skepticism of conventional wisdom. We regularly question our assumptions and value critical thought and ongoing learning. We create space for self-reflection in order to learn from successes and failures as we strive for greater impact.

Accountability

We are accountable, first and foremost, to the communities we serve and we put their interests before any other agenda. If we make mistakes, we own them and we do what’s necessary to make amends.

Passion for Social Justice

We work for Inclusive Development International because we are passionate about social justice and because we recognize that we all have a responsibility to fight for those who have been socially, economically and politically marginalized, and for a system that protects and fulfills the universal rights of all.

Humility

We are confident in offering advice to partners based on our knowledge and experience. At the same time, we are humble enough to know what we don’t know and we are constantly seeking to learn from the experiences and perspectives of our civil society and community-based partners and fellow team members.

Solidarity and Teamwork

We are committed to working within and contributing to a broad-based movement for justice in the global economy. We stand in solidarity with all communities and human rights defenders on the frontlines of this struggle and we always seek to collaborate with our partners and fellow team members to advance our shared goals.
