Changequity's mission is inspired by the legacy of Ray Anderson's visionary leadership as CEO of Interface.

What drives us? A positive vision of the future and the determination to make it come true. The moral courage to do what is right, despite all obstacles. An abiding commitment to show that sustainability is better for business. We believe that change happens through transforming high-carbon companies from plunderers of the earth to agents of its restoration. Through this process of redesigning how business is profitable, we hope to be a catalyst for the redesign of global industry.

"The status quo is a very powerful opiate...It's very hard to make yourself change. But we all know that change is an inevitable part of business. Once you have ridden a wave just so far, you have to get another wave. We all know that. Becoming restorative has been that new wave...it's been incredibly good for business. "

- the late Ray Anderson, CEO of Interface
