ARLINGTON, Va., Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Ostendio, a leading provider of always-on integrated risk management technology, today announced that it is joining the Mission Corporation movement of companies. This purpose-driven group of companies believes in a set of specific commitments to manage corporate, capital, and operational structures. These principles guide growth for investors and employees while making a positive impact in the community.
"As a founder, the goal from day one was to build a successful organization that helped with security, but also to build a company that would make a difference in the community," said Grant Elliott, CEO, and Chairman, Ostendio. "Becoming a Mission Corporation has helped to structure and streamline our goals of being a company with a purpose, and a company all employees can be proud of." Elliott added, "Our purpose is to reduce risk by improving security for all. By doing this, we can achieve a positive return for our shareholders and contribute positively to society as a whole."
In the book, Mission Corporation, authors Michael T. Moe and Michael M. Carter explain the idea of a Mission Corporation company as one which re-examines capitalism and how companies can be profitable and also be a force for good.
