Marketplacers is committed to functioning as an organisation in a balanced and responsible manner. We see there being four very distinct areas where that responsibility lies:

• Social - While being internally sustainable, we want to contribute to the community beyond ourselves. We do that by being socially aware and proactively engage in social issues, particularly toward marginalised people in developing countries.
  
  
• Economic - as an organisation we want to be fiscally responsible by ensuring we run long term financially sustainable businesses. This means ensuring we steward our financial resources both for now and for the long term.
  
  
• Environmental - we want to be recognised as good and responsible stewards of our environment. This means we must behave in a way that ensures our planet will benefit from our involvement and not see it as part of the problem.
  
  
• Spiritual - We recognise that every individual we interact with has a full and extensive life independent of MPIL. We want to intentionally encourage people that spiritual exploration is healthy and an important part of the circle and journey of life.
