Our Commitment to Equity
-
GRID’s vision is a fast, equitable transition to a world powered by renewable energy that benefits everyone.
-
That vision is only possible within a framework that acknowledges social, economic, and environmental justice.
Our sustained commitment to equity, inclusion, and diversity is integral to who we are.
GRID’s mission, vision and values will only be achieved within a framework of social, economic, and environmental justice. Underrepresented and under-resourced communities carry a disproportionate share of the harm caused by environmental injustice and climate change. GRID understands that the voices and leadership of these communities are key to building solutions that are equitable and long-lasting.
Our Three Commitments
Advancing an EQUITY agenda, both within GRID Alternatives and across the energy industry and policy world. We do this by examining and addressing systemic inequities in the clean energy space, seeking out and amplifying the voices of the communities we serve, and expanding access to clean energy and career and leadership opportunities.
Creating an INCLUSIVE, welcoming environment on our jobsites, in our workplaces, and in our boardrooms, where staff, volunteers, trainees, clients, and community representatives are heard, supported, respected, and valued.
Building a culture of equity and inclusion that supports and fosters DIVERSITY. We aim to build a diverse staff at every level of our organization and to promote these values across the energy industry. We believe that one’s race, class, gender, sexual orientation, education level, veteran status, ability, and/or prior involvement with the criminal justice system should not exclude them from the benefits of a clean energy transition .
