People, relationships, and knowledge
Square Circle invests in building strong and durable relationships with partners, collaborators, and communities everywhere we work. We believe in knitting together networks across geographies, sectors, and cultures to share knowledge of the diverse local experiences, challenges, and opportunities of global development.
We see people, everywhere, as holders of knowledge with important insights for realising the best version of our shared future.

Just and sustainable futures
Square Circle understands that positive human–ecological relationships are integral to sustainable and equitable experiences of development. We believe that a just and sustainable future will be realised through innovative and transformative changes in the present.
We engage critically with historical and contemporary inequalities to influence change for today and tomorrow.
Transparency, inclusion, and impact
Square Circle works across local, regional, and global scales to foster inclusive practices that value diverse conceptions of development. We believe that diverse backgrounds, experiences, cultures, capacities, knowledge, and aspirations are integral to creating positive impacts for a dynamic and diverse world.
We are committed to transparency in our processes and decision-making, ensuring that all stakeholders can participate meaningfully.
