WIER envisions a world that fosters human interconnectedness and pursues harmony and balance. We see a universal connection among people based on five core principles regardless of race, color, religion, origin, ethnicity, or any other factor. These principles are:
The foundations on which we build prosperity and human fulfillment
The process by which we reach our potential as human beings and societies
A sense of belonging to something bigger than ourselves – be it global, national or local
The expectation that all leaders should make brave decisions in good faith and in a principled way
A sense of responsibility and care toward all people and things that depend on us
