We want GoodThings to be a true vehicle for positive change by and for people interested in living in a way that is respectful of their peers, community and surroundings. While our objective is to become a viable, profitable and sustainable company and ultimately increase the wealth of our shareholders, we will do so without compromising our employees, our community or the environment. We want to create an enduring company based on the positive principles of great people, connection, passion, constructive contribution, diversity, and responsibility.
- People: We are first and foremost about people. People make everything possible. The energy and vibrancy of the human spirit inspires and humbles us. GoodThings is a place in which people respect and celebrate one another.
- Connection: We believe in building bridges for people and helping people to connect with one another and build positive and lasting communities.
- Passion: Passion is the engine for creation and change – passion for some thing or some one or some idea. We encourage everyone to invest in his or her passion. Let’s get jazzed about something and live it!
- Constructive Contribution: We promote constructive and positive thoughts, work and products. At GoodThings, we’re focused on being a powerful mechanism for positive change.
- Diversity: This is about a celebration of diversity at all levels – diversity of backgrounds, training, thought, and beliefs. We can both enrich and inspire each other’s experiences.
- Responsibility: At the core of our manifesto, we are people who care about how we live and interact within the world. We have a responsibility to ourselves, our families, our friends, and our larger communities to make a difference. We are all connected, and our combined actions can have a powerful impact.

How Do We Define "Good"?
"Good" is, of course, subjective.
To us, "good" has authenticity, depth, nuance
and character.
"goodthings" means specific things (people, organizations,
stories, products, ideas) that are
| · |
creative (inventive, imaginative, original, ingenious, resourceful), |
| · |
constructive (helpful, positive, beneficial, useful, productive) and |
| · |
connective (linking, bridging, joining people and ideas together). |
"Good" to us is not about perfection, nor is it a Pollyanna-ish emphasis on the
positive. Instead it is a celebration of the many, diverse aspects of good
already present in our world.
