These foundations are more than internal principles, they guide how we approach projects and how we work with clients. They support good decision making and help us stay focused on work that matters. Values give us direction in complex situations and keep us aligned with our purpose as we grow.

How values influence the work we take on

When we assess new work, we look beyond profitability. We consider how well the project aligns with our values, the potential impact of the work, and whether it supports our long term direction.

We have a framework to guide this. It helps us recognise when a project aligns strongly with our purpose, and when we may need to reflect more carefully. Where there’s uncertainty, we prioritise transparency, open discussion, and thoughtful decision making.

How our values show up in practice

Our values influence both what we do and how we do it. They guide partnerships, design, and team support. We regularly assess our work’s alignment with our mission and values, making adjustments as needed to stay consistent, support our people, and focus on meaningful work.
