Diversity is a conservation necessity & a social imperative
Sierra Club Diversity Statement: The Sierra Club values diversity in our members, staff and supporters, and we embrace these differences, including race, class and ethnicity among many others. We welcome diverse individuals and their perspectives, and we
promote a sense of inclusion by acknowledging that:
Diversity is a conservation necessity and a social imperative that will enable the Club to continue as a leader of the environmental movement.
Like a healthy ecosystem, our differences
strengthen us in our efforts to preserve and protect the natural and human environment.
Diversity fosters greater involvement of all persons and organizations that share our vision for a healthy planet.
We are united by our common concern for the
future of our earth and our communities.
In support of the mission of the Sierra Club, we strive to be inclusive and to engage individuals from all communities in our work and activities.
