Our Vision/Mission
To empower those responsible for making strategic decisions to develop and implement sustainable policies and programmes that overcome the challenges of social and economic exclusion, and inequality.
Our Capabilities
We have a broad and deep understanding of the complex development challenges facing societies in transition, and first-hand experience from within government of policy development and implementation processes.
We approach problems and solutions from an institutional-systems perspective – always recognising the relevant social-legal-institutional-financial environment.
We combine innovation and common sense, supported by strong quantitative modelling, writing and presentation skills.
Our Values
Act with integrity. We are honest, trustworthy and dependable. Integrity is at the core of all we do – how we conduct ourselves within our team and interact with all of our stakeholders.
Honour commitments. We honour our commitments to our customers, colleagues and suppliers. Our desire is that we can make a positive contribution to society.
Strive for excellence. We strive to be the best in all we do, and meet customers’ expectations to the best of our abilities.
Enjoy our work. We work because work can be fulfilling, exciting and a source of joy. We enjoy our work and gain satisfaction from being part of a team that is making a difference. And when it stops being that way, we will change what or how we do things.
Company Co-operative
Cornerstone Economic Research aims to be the change it wants to see in society. This is reflected in the company’s structure and management, its values, its approach to profits, investment and remuneration, and its social contributions.
All full-time workers are members of the company, and the members govern the company. The wealth created by the company is distributed among the members according to their labour provided, as well as invested to grow the business and so create new jobs. In addition, all members are required to invest in the company, but there are no shareholders.
We aim to achieve competitiveness through the high quality of our work, and so provide our customers with value-for-money.
