Pathway Forward Adoption Pledge
The Pathway Forward is designed to assist organizations within the clean energy industry in taking action toward greater representation, fairness, and belonging within their organizations and in partnership with communities impacted by clean energy development.
Every organization will approach these actions from its unique situation. Not every element or action in the Framework will apply to every organization. The objective is to move our industry forward: evaluating our practices, principles, and structures; taking action; measuring impacts and outcomes; and making progress.
The Pathway Forward offers accessible, flexible, appropriate actions and metrics for all clean energy organizations, regardless of size, location or organizational mission.
As an organization, we pledge to:
- Assert the importance and priority of an inclusive culture built on equity through intentional, transparent organizational actions
- Evaluate our internal company culture and policies using the tools of the Pathway Forward as appropriate
- Measure our organization’s progress in creating and maintaining an inclusive culture regularly, reporting results to our Board and employees
As an organization, we will strive to:
- Share best-known programs and initiatives that promote representation, fairness, and belonging throughout our clean energy organization and with industry peers as appropriate to educate our management, Board of Directors, stakeholders, and employees
- Champion the elements of an inclusive culture by providing safe environments for open dialogue on complex issues of race, gender, ethnicity, power and social structures
- We will work to adjust organizational policies and actions based on insights from these dialogues
- Invest resources to strengthen areas related to inclusion and equity that align with organizational needs analysis, for example, in training, community engagement practices, or Board recruitment
- Encourage our leadership to set metrics for progress in building a fair and inclusive culture as a performance measurement for senior managers and our leadership team
