MISSION
STATEMENTS
FROM THE
WORLD’S MOST
VALUABLE BRANDS
The best example of a mission statement will define
your company and its purpose in 30 seconds or less.
Great ones avoid buzz words, empty phrases, or
mission statements that are so general they could apply
to many different companies.
It’s a challenge, but you want to capture what your
company stands for in a brief and memorable way.
With your mission statement, be sure to cover what the
goals of your business are for three primary components:
customers, employees, and owners.
Be clear and specific, and you’ll highlight the core of what
makes your venture unique and worthwhile.
Sometimes it helps to look at the mission statements of
other companies to get a better idea of how to write
your own mission statement.
Gathered below are the mission statements of the
world’s 25 most valuable brands in 2015.
We’ve also graded each mission statement to
demonstrate how effective they are.
