Our Purpose
‘Create conscious organizations capable to build a better world for future generations.’
Our Mission
A community of Obeya professionals that help organizations set up Obeya’s that lead to sustainable and inclusive decisions.
Our Vision
With the world growing increasingly complex and the stakes higher than ever before, organizations need a business philosophy that help them deal with said challenges.
Obeya proposes to include perspectives and information sources, devote resources for preparedness and build up empirical data when moving into the necessary unknowns that will shape our future. Organizations need the horizontal connections that Obeya creates, so we can learn and adapt as a collective.
We donate 1% of our turnover to environmental protection
“To positively change the environment with donations from companies.” This is the declared motto of 1% for the Planet. In 2002, the two owners of the clothing company Patagonia founded the international organization and thus make an important contribution to the maintenance of the environment.
The network now works with nearly 4,000 audited non-profit environmental protection organizations around the world. Over 1,600 companies are already part of the campaign, including us. Find out more on onepercentfortheplanet.org
