Explanation:
Actually, this is the common use for this concept. (Did you see the Google hits count, wicked high!) I suppose you could substitute with “our mission,” but “cause” is good. IMO.

our work


Explanation:
Another option, this is a term frequently used by charities and NGOs.

Example sentence(s):
  • Our work is guided by the UN Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Platform for Action adopted at Fourth World Conference on Women convened by the United Nations in Beijing in 1995.
  • The Federation plays an active role in promoting and implementing Public Health activities and our work is greatly aided by our collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
