Criterion's Mission-2

Criterion’s 2020-2030 strategic plan will enable us to demonstrate how finance can be a tool for transforming structural inequality and systemic injustice. It aims to inspire others to imagine what is possible, to support them in understanding how to create systemic change, and to encourage them to take the first steps to turn their visions of a more just future into reality.
