Our core values are central to our vision for a Good Society. They are also central to how we work and behave.

EQUALITY

In a Good Society, everyone is able to fulfil their potential and to pursue a meaningful and rewarding life, unhindered by poverty, discrimination and any other forms of inequality.

SUSTAINABILITY

A Good Society can only exist and thrive if we look after our climate and our environment, so that the world we leave to our children is one of greater abundance, instead of an impoverished version of the one we inherited.

DEMOCRACY

Democracy is not just a means to an end – it helps define and shape our Good Society and who we are. In a Good Society, democracy is everywhere and open to all, with far less power concentrated in one place.

PLURALISM

We believe that no one party or organisation can build a Good Society. In the 21st century, the future is negotiated, not imposed. That’s why our approach is one of bringing people and ideas together.
