SOCIAL IMPACT VALUES

Our values drive the work we do

Community

Social Impact is guided by the communities we serve. Our work is done in partnership with a broad network of individuals and organizations working toward equity.

Transparency

Building trust takes time. We move with transparency to create lasting relationships built with integrity.

Diversity

Diversity inspires creativity, growth, and innovation. We seek to empower individuals, teams, and organizations to build a truly inclusive cannabis industry.

Collaboration

We seek out community-led organizations already doing the work, in order to provide resources to enhance these organizations’ capacity for greater impact.
