Mission statement example: Airbnb mission statement and values

Here’s great mission statement from Airbnb.

Our Mission: Create a world where anyone can belong anywhere

It’s an audacious, incredibly rewarding mission that our increasingly diverse team is dedicated to achieving.

Airbnb is built around the idea that everyone should be able to take the perfect trip, including where they stay, what they do, and who they meet. To that end, we empower millions of people around the world to use their spaces, passions, and talents to become entrepreneurs.
