OUR VALUES

At P3, we strive to embody equity, inclusivity, accessibility, and transparency in all of our work with community engagement.

Applying these values to the work we do creates a higher quality, more effective engagement process, and leads to decision-making that incorporates representative feedback from those in a community. Regardless of the size of the project or community it’s based in, these values are a crucial part of all our efforts.

EQUITY

At P3, we strive to provide equitable opportunities for engagement to all members of a community. We employ every tool we can to make sure equitable engagement is not only attainable but also sustainable in every project.

Our approach to equity includes providing equal access to information, resources for participation, and opportunities for engagement. We believe the best decisions are made when the most voices are heard. Thus, we embody this value in our engagement work.

Inclusivity

Inclusivity goes hand in hand with equity in public engagement. Just as it is important to ensure that all have the knowledge needed and access to resources to participate, it is important for everyone to feel included in the conversations surrounding decision-making.

Many may not feel inclined to engage in community projects as they do not feel they belong at the table. It’s important to make efforts to establish a culture of belonging by inviting all to participate and ensuring they feel welcome and heard when they do.

Transparency

It is important that communication with the public is open and transparent. This establishes trust between the community and agencies. As the community takes part in decision-making, they deserve to know what the general public opinion is and how their participation and feedback influences decision-making.

P3 works to embody this value by communicating continuously, clearly, and effectively with the public to inform community members about ongoing projects, engagement opportunities, and decisions being made.

Accessibility

Public engagement is not effective if not all are able to access it. Especially in a growing digital environment, many may feel left behind as much of public involvement relies on having access to digital resources and materials.

It is important to consider the means of access for all within a community and provide various resources and options for participation to ensure that all who wish to participate have the tools and means to do so.
