We find common ground for the common good.
We humanize, we depolarize, and we work collaboratively to advance durable, positive change.
What We Do
We are bridge builders, trusted counsel, and valued friends who cultivate relationships between companies, advocates, and their funders. We understand the unique cultures between these entities and, therefore, tailor our approach to allow companies and advocates to step outside their echo chambers and connect on a human level to they can hear what needs to be heard, not what they want to be heard.
For nearly 30 years, we have humanized relationships between companies and civil society advocates, enabling them to progress from conflict to collaboration to progress positive social and environmental change.
We are pioneering experts at helping companies engage their critical stakeholders well before this practice was coined ‘Stakeholder Capitalism.’ From our founding, we have been committed to depolarization, enabling business and society to flourish.
We understand nuanced stakeholder dynamics and the importance of engaging beyond the “usual suspects.” Our brand is built on the trust and the relationship capital we have built over a quarter century. We’re here to work in partnership with you, with integrity - every time.
We anticipate emerging material risks by understanding evolving stakeholder expectations of companies, enabling business and civil society to move past differences and find ways to scale positive impact.
How We Do It
We help businesses identify, prioritize and constructively engage with their highest value stakeholders around challenging issues – before, during, and after conflicts arise.
We envision a depolarized world where business and civil society collaborate responsibly to enable life to flourish.
We are a mission driven non-profit that guides companies and stakeholders to engage constructively to achieve positive impact - financial, social, and environmental.
