VALUES COMMITMENTS & GOVERANCE

What is the next step in ValueBox?

We now consider whether you have already made a commitment to create benefit by acting on your Values. And if so, what commitment has been made.

What do we mean by a Purpose (Mission or Values) Statement?

The activities that you do and why and / or how you do you it. Basically how you would explain what 'you are about'. In other words, why people or organisations will get what they need from you: basically how you express your worth to others.

Why is a Purpose Statement important?

Public communication of your Purpose enables colleagues, customers, suppliers and wider society to understand, basically 'what the organisation is about'.

Clear communication of your Purpose and Values enables you to ask that everyone upholds your Values in their dealings with and on behalf of your organisation.

This should also ensure that you are more likely to recruit colleagues, win customers, and secure suppliers who share your Values. As well as enhancing its reputation in society at large, along with its professional good standing amongst its peers and any regulators.

So what are the questions that we have to think about?

Whether you have made a commitment, what is stated in it and whether it mentions any of your Values specifically.
