English term or phrase: mission of being
Here is the full sentence:
The “mission of being” statement from a hospital or a pharmaceutical company, conducting research on cancer cure, sounds more appealing to most than “creating wealth for our shareholders”.

I understood that "mission statement" means "énoncé de mission", but I fnd it trickier with this "of being"....

Thanks in advance for your help !
