At The Green Mission Inc., Green Mission ESG, Probity Appraisal Group, and MAS LLC, our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is not performative. It is personal, structural, and mission-driven.

We believe that environmental sustainability and social equity are not separate causes; they are deeply interconnected. Building a just, inclusive, and equitable society is essential to creating a sustainable future. That belief shapes the way we hire, grow, and lead.

As a women-led enterprise, our founder—also a mother of five—understands firsthand that a disproportionate share of unpaid household labor, caregiving responsibilities, and childcare burdens fall on women and single parents. One of the fastest ways to derail a person’s career and long-term financial stability is to become pregnant in an economy that still penalizes caregiving. Quality full-time childcare can cost nearly half of a person’s income, and when a child or family member falls ill, there are few safety nets. That reality pushes out talented, capable individuals from the workforce every day.

We see those people. And we hire them.

Our DEI approach is rooted in the belief that the traditional 9-to-5, in- person office model excludes a huge portion of the population, especially those who are managing chronic illness, caregiving for aging parents or children, or navigating life circumstances that require flexibility and empathy. Instead of asking these individuals to conform to rigid systems, we have restructured our own. We work as a team, intentionally designing roles and responsibilities that plug in those who may be overlooked in traditional hiring pipelines.

The best-kept secret of our DEI initiative? It makes us more profitable.

By hiring individuals who have overcome barriers—whether due to gender, race, economic background, caregiving, or health—we’ve built a team that is resilient, loyal, and mission-aligned. These team members, often women or members of historically marginalized communities, bring dedication, adaptability, and an unmatched work ethic to our companies, not in spite of their lived experiences, but because of them.

Our DEI commitment is embedded in everything we do. We believe that valuing people and honoring the whole of their lives creates stronger companies, stronger communities, and a stronger future for all.

We are proud to support and collaborate with others who share these values and recognize that people-centered policies and sustainability-focused systems are two sides of the same solution.
