Mission
To create positive, sustainable, and equitable outcomes for people and the planet by working with – never displacing – local actors to improve the quality, sustainability and impact of our partners.
Values
The Directors commit to the following principles, to each other, our Associates and Partners and of course, our clients:
Equity
Ensure all stakeholders have an equal opportunity to contribute, participate, and influence decisions, regardless of their size or power.
Mutual Benefit:
Recognise and balance the diverse interests of all stakeholders.
Courage:
Be brave to address challenges, confront difficult issues, and take risks when necessary to strengthen the business, our services and our clients’ organisations.
Transparency
Maintain openness and honesty in communication including sharing information, decision-making, and intentions in a clear and accessible manner that builds trust among all stakeholders.
Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commitment
ChangeMaker International is deeply committed to advancing equality, promoting inclusive economic opportunities, and supporting efforts to combat modern slavery. We collaborate with grassroots organisations, social enterprises, and development actors to design and deliver programmes that empower disadvantaged communities. Our work reflects a deep respect for cultural, social, and individual differences, and we strive to ensure that all voices—especially those of disadvantaged and marginalised people—are heard, valued, and supported. We go in active search of Associates across the globe who are women and target women-led organisations for partnership; women hold 41% of ChangeMaker shares. Our approach aligns with UK policy frameworks on equality and anti-slavery, and we actively encourage our partners to adopt inclusive recruitment, fair labour standards, and safeguarding measures. Through our consultancy and programme design work, we help shape environments where equity, and opportunity are central to sustainable development.
