Polis Analysis is a mission-led organisation. Our six-point mission defines who we are, what we do and what we stand for:​

1. We are committed to helping individuals, not large corporations, navigate a volatile and unpredictable political world. We get straight to the point and explain what’s in it for you when analysing global political developments. 

2. Our analysis is entirely fact-based to counter the spread of misinformation.

3. We make politics accessible. Our work is free of jargon, free of ads and free of charge. 

4. Our stance is strictly impartial in order to counter the growing polarisation and partisanship in mainstream media. 

5. We are committed to empowering young people - the next generation of leaders - to navigate the political world as they are more exposed to fake news online, have fewer resources to stay informed and are less politically engaged. 

6. Informed citizens make for healthier democracies. Polis Analysis believes individuals have the right to be informed about the political decisions impacting their lives.

   
   

Polis Analysis is at the service of individuals, and our aim is to empower citizens with the knowledge they need to navigate global politics. We are not here to influence; we are here to inform.
