Our Culture: Creating Joy & Connection
The Wildkind movement aims to provide moments of joy and connection to people around the world. Our job as a company is to create the ideal conditions for these emotions to thrive: experiences that inspire human curiosity and a community that is supportive of human endeavour.
These are challenging goals and to achieve them we need a company of outstanding people with a coherent working culture. We have diverse skill-sets and viewpoints but are excellent at communicating to ensure our efforts are aligned.
Team Values & Behaviours

We try to exhibit them at all times, hold each other accountable to them, and we use them as a guide when deciding who we have on the team.

Company Principles
Beyond the behaviour of individuals, the company holds the following guiding principles which we use to inform our goal setting and decision making.
Adventure & Creativity
We believe that creativity and adventure are what make life exciting and fulfilling. They underpin everything we do. We provide opportunities to experience creativity and adventure to our customers, and we practise them daily ourselves. Adventure and creativity can happen on a grand or small scale, and they can be shared or individual. You cannot be creative or adventurous without taking risks.
Try, Learn, Improve
The only thing we know works for certain is the process of Trying, Learning and Improving. So that’s what we do; over and over. If we have an idea, we turn it into action.
Innovation & Excellence
We don't accept it when people tell us that's the way things are or that will never work. We strive to bring new ideas to life and to improve the world we live in.
Diversity & Inclusion
We treat everyone equally. We see value in the richness of diverse backgrounds and thinking. We make everyone feel welcome, supported and safe in our company.
Impact & Sustainability
We are building for the long term. What we create must have a positive impact on the environment and communities that we work within. We take responsibility for ensuring that our work is sustainable.
Autonomy & Responsibility
We grant everyone the trust to make decisions on the basis that they always act in the best interests of the company. We all take responsibility for the health of the organisation and progress towards our goals. We share recognition and reward with everyone who has contributed.
Work & Life
We are in a symbiotic relationship with the company. This is a delicate balance that is always fluctuating and needs constant attention. Your individual needs must be met in order for you to be able to contribute to the company, and the company must have its needs met in order for it to support you. We want to ensure you have the time and resources to dedicate to family, friends, health, travel and culture outside of work so that we can achieve incredible things together inside of work.
