We are committed to profitability for every stakeholder in Dignity - from investors to employees. Wealth creation goes beyond mere job creation, aiming for financial stability and independence for stakeholders.
Where a business operates with dignity and values the community, jobs are created, new businesses independently spring up, crime is reduced, individuals are engaged in their government, families are healed, and the environment is substantially improved.
As far as a business is able to influence change, we seek to model and help our employees and neighbors develop strong values, obedience to God, and a vibrant spiritual life that will impact their actions and civic responsibility.
We are aggressive with our environmental stewardship. We care about not only protecting the planet, but actively enhancing it and correcting existing problems through modeling sustainability and a passion for the environment.
1. We recognize the inherent value and dignity in each person.

5. Those who work in Dignity will have participation rights.
6. Dignity will in some way share in the practice of investing an agreed portion of its proceeds in other similar new companies.

11. Each Dignity plant will consider opportunities for supporting strategic community volunteerism.
12. Within a given national economic scale, no single long-term full-time worker should earn a salary more than nine times greater than any other long-term full-time worker.
