Our Guiding Principles
Our Guiding Principles
Collaboration
Silos inhibit dialog, innovation and progress. We catalyze trust-based relationships that deliver results.
Equity
Climate change impacts all, just not equally. We strive to ensure that access to the benefits of cleantech innovation is proportional to need.
Bias for Action
Innovators need help yesterday. We must move at with a decisiveness and pace that allows us to support the most dynamic innovators in the country
Discovery
Understanding customer need is critical to effective solution development. By working in the ecosystem, we gain unique insight into its unmet needs allowing us to orchestrate the right response
Accountability
Every decision and promise we make drives results with positive and negative consequences. We think deeply about the impact our decisions and promises create and take ownership for those results.
