Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Policy
Clean Production Action brings people, ideas, and resources together to break down barriers to the creation, promotion, and sustainability of safe and healthy markets and policies. CPA understands that the dependence of markets on hazardous chemicals is rooted in systemic racism and injustice. Therefore, diversity, equity and inclusion are core to our organization. We aspire to develop, promote, and sustain an organization that values, nurtures, and leverages diversity, equity and inclusiveness in all that we do.
Clean Production Action is committed to ensuring the diversity of its board, staff, volunteers, and programming. We define diversity as a measure of the dimensions of the difference or similarity that exist within a group taking into account national origins, languages, ethnicities, races, skin colors, cultures, generations, religions, spiritualities, socioeconomic backgrounds, gender identities, sexual orientations, as well as different skills, abilities, customs, values, behavioral styles and beliefs.
We respect the different lived experiences and cultures among the individuals in the organization. We are committed to creating an organizational culture in which any person can feel supported, recognized, and rewarded in making their best contributions to the mission of our organization. We strive to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into our vision, values, strategy, board leadership, human resources policies and practices, communications, and programming.
