The organization envisions a world in which all people have enough, communities are healthy and safe, and Earth's bounty is preserved for future generations. Its four core strategies include empowering individuals to make purchasing and investing choices that support social justice and sustainability; promoting collective economic action to curb corporate irresponsibility; advancing green and fair trade principles while expanding the market for compliant businesses; and building sustainable communities in the US and abroad.
