Organisation’s vision:
To support the science community with the best possible tools and content, as we seek to do good science at Esri ourselves. To evolve ArcGIS into a comprehensive geospatial platform for science, including ocean science, resource management, and conservation. Underpinning all our science initiatives is our vision for the Living Atlas, one of the world's best compilations of government and commercial geographic information, with a growing academic catalogue. This resource enables great mapping and analytics for science, secure sharing and collaboration, compelling science communication via storytelling, and creation of an ecosystem where both models and beautiful maps can be shared to further the understanding of virtually any topic.
Organisation’s mission:
- To inspire and enable people to positively impact their future through a deeper understanding of the changing world around them.
- To connect governments, industry leaders, academics, and nongovernmental organizations with the analytic knowledge they need to make the
critical decisions that shape the planet.
- To cultivate collaborative relationships with partners who share our commitment to solving earth’s most pressing challenges with geographic expertise and rational resolve.
Today, we believe that geography is at the heart of a more resilient and sustainable future. Creating responsible products and solutions drives our passion for improving quality of life everywhere.
