Who we are
Our Values
3Degrees owes its endurance, growth, and success to upholding our five core values
These values are woven into the fabric of our daily operations, shaping how we engage with and support our clients, and influencing our interactions within our teams. Each 3Degrees team member is responsible for understanding and embodying these guiding principles.
Passion
Passion for taking urgent action on climate change.
Now more than ever, the world needs business and community leaders to take action on climate change. We are proud to take action within our own operations and deliver exceptional service to our clients to address this challenge.
Respect
Respect for all people.
We strive to infuse equity and justice within our daily practices and to create a company culture imbued with the respect and inclusion of all people — where voices of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives are heard and valued at every level of our organization.
Commitment
Commitment to achieving impact through ground-breaking work.
For us, the bottom line is progressing meaningful climate action as urgently and effectively as possible. We don’t shy away from difficult assignments or first-of-a-kind work. Our service offerings and employee engagements continually evolve as we seek to affect the greatest impact across our communities and the environment.
Integrity
Integrity guides our actions. Always.
It’s not only about what you do, but how you do it. We endeavor to always do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Our operations are guided by the input from all stakeholders of our business and we hold each other accountable for our candor, devotion to our mission, and the integrity of our work.
Diversity
Diversity inspires new approaches for how we do business.
Climate action must acknowledge, explore, and advance equity and inclusion in marginalized communities. 3Degrees seeks to identify and eradicate the barriers and behaviors that prevent organizations, including our own, from representing and advancing these communities throughout all levels of an organization. We recognize that we have much work to do, and it requires ongoing attention and care.
Our values in action
3Degrees’ social mission is a foundational element of the work we do each and every day:
- Through our work we seek to pursue the principles of a just transition to help build a more equitable, regenerative economy for all people.
- Building a more equitable future requires collaborative action and, each year, we invest in several organizations that align with our social mission to advance a just transition to a low-carbon future.
Certified B Corporation
A Certified B Corporation is part of a movement of businesses that balance purpose with profit. We are proud to be a part of a community of business leaders redefining what success means — where the goal is not just to be the best in the world, but to be the best for the world by using business as a force for good.
The B Corp certification demands rigorous standards of social and environmental performance and represents the commitment we’ve made to our employees and communities.
