Part of MPH's mission is to proactively address social equity issues and provide a fulfilling work environment to each of our employees. With this in mind, we recently assessed our company using a framework provided by the International Living Future Institute called the Just Program. The Just Program is a transparency platform where organizations voluntary disclose their operations, including how they treat their employees and where they make financial and community investments. This platform assists organizations in optimizing policies that improve social equity and enhance employee engagement.

By applying for the ILFI's Just 2.0 label, we were able to take an in depth look at our operations. The label we received is not a badge of achievement. Rather, it is a roadmap to improvement. Our label is an open and honest assessment of where our company currently stands and a public commitment to improve.

In fact, we've already made efforts to improve our label, thereby improving our company. In 2022, we are proud to say MPH will offer health insurance to its employees. In addition, MPH will provide life insurance and short-term and long-term disability insurance at no cost to employees.

Why take this on as a business, you might ask? We are all part of a society and an economy that actively marginalizes large groups of people and profits off of land grabs, systemic racism, and inequality. If we are not working to improve this, we feel we are complicit with the problem. As a company, we have influence in what we choose to purchase, what we choose to build, and how we treat the workers who make it all happen.
