Facebook’s 5 Core(kôr) Values

Facebook’s mission(ˈmiSHən) is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. As our company grows we have 5 strong values that guide the way we work and the decisions(diˈsiZHən) we make each day to help achieve our mission.

  1. Be Bold(bōld): Building great things means taking risks(risk). We have a saying: “The riskiest thing is to take no risks.” In a world that’s changing so quickly, you’re guaranteed(ˌgarənˈtē) to fail if you don’t take any risks. We encourage(-ˈkə-rij,enˈkərij) everyone to make bold decisions, even if that means being wrong some of the time.

  2. Focus on Impact: To have the biggest impact, we need to focus on solving the most important problems. It sounds simple, but most companies do this poorly and waste(wāst) a lot of time. We expect everyone at Facebook to be good at finding the biggest problems to work on.

  3. Move Fast(fast): Moving fast enables us to build more things and learn faster. We’re less afraid(əˈfrād) of making mistakes than we are of losing opportunities(ˌäpərˈt(y)o͞onitē) by moving too slowly. We are a culture of builders, the power is in your hands.

  4. Be Open: We believe that a more open world is a better world. The same goes for our company. Informed people make better decisions and have a greater impact, which is why we work hard to make sure everyone at Facebook has access to as much information about the company as possible.

  5. Build Social Value: Facebook was created to make the world more open and connected, not just to build a company. We expect everyone at Facebook to focus every day on how to build real value for the world in everything they do.
