Question: What is the genre of Mission statements? 

Answer: A Mission Statement is the philosophy of a business, organization, corporation, company ect.  ... Because you asked this question in the plural tense it does not make sense. Each Mission Statement is indivual and exclusive of the particular place in which it represents. \nGenre is defined as a type or class. I'm not sure this is what your looking for.
