full selves to work and feel encouraged to grow and thrive professionally. Our focus is on ensuring that NRDC’s internal culture reflects and embodies principles and practices of equity. In strengthening these functions, we aim to advance an organization that is as strong and united as its people.</span></p> <p>The Office of DEI bases this work around three foundational pillars:</p> <ul> <li><strong>People: </strong>Provide people—especially people from marginalized backgrounds—with the support systems necessary to learn, grow, and advance in the organization.</li> <li><strong>Processes: </strong>Evaluate and improve NRDC’s hiring, retention, and promotions processes and practices so everyone has a fair chance to achieve their goals.</li> <li><strong>Education:</strong> Create educational programs and learning opportunities through which staff can feel supported and empowered on their DEI journeys, such as trainings on implicit bias and how to lead more inclusive meetings.</li> </ul> <p>We’re working hard to transform our practices—from diversifying our board of trustees to developing Employee Resource Groups with staff to improving the processes of how we hire, retain, and promote our people. For NRDC, the actions we take to improve our internal culture are just as important as how we work externally, and are inseparable from our goals.</p> </div> </div> <div class="l-page__inline"> <section class="l-section l-section--secondary is-transparent"> <div class="l-section__main"> <h2 class="l-section__title"><p>Meet Our DEI Team</p></h2> <div class="l-section__content"> <div class="l-profile-grid"> <div data-history-node-id="56893" class="c-profile is-link"> <a class="c-profile__link" href="/bio/robyn-arville"> <div class="c-profile__photo"> <img loading="lazy" srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/profile_100/public/2023-07/robyn-arville.jpg.webp?h=b13ea8c4&itok=iC3hbHha 48w, /sites/default/files/styles/profile_200/public/2023-07/robyn-arville.jpg.webp?h=b13ea8c4&itok=zn4tc1ev 96w" sizes="min(calc(100vw - 2.22222rem), 48px)" width="96" height="96" src="/sites/default/files/styles/profile_100/public/2023-07/robyn-arville.jpg.jpg?h=b13ea8c4&itok=iC3hbHha" alt="A headshot of Robyn Arville" /> </div> <div class="c-profile__content"> <div class="c-profile__name">Robyn Arville </div> <div class="c-profile__title">Chief People & DEI Officer</div> </div> </a></div> <div data-history-node-id="67308" class="c-profile is-link"> <a class="c-profile__link" href="/bio/erwin-lee-acox"> <div class="c-profile__photo"> <img loading="lazy" srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/profile_100/public/2023-07/erwin-acox.jpg.webp?h=b13ea8c4&itok=MW11Tx3F 48w, /sites/default/files/styles/profile_200/public/2023-07/erwin-acox.jpg.webp?h=b13ea8c4&itok=sRCEmOVj 96w" sizes="min(calc(100vw - 2.22222rem), 48px)" width="96" height="96" src="/sites/default/files/styles/profile_100/public/2023-07/erwin-acox.jpg.jpg?h=b13ea8c4&itok=MW11Tx3F" alt="A headshot of Erwin Lee Acox" /> </div> <div class="c-profile__content"> <div class="c-profile__name">Erwin Lee Acox Jr. </div> <div class="c-profile__title">Managing Director, Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion</div> </div> </a></div> <div data-history-node-id="67719" class="c-profile is-link"> <a class="c-profile__link" href="/bio/dare-saliu-ibiefo"> <div class="c-profile__content"> <div class="c-profile__name">Daré Saliu-Ibiefo </div> <div class="c-profile__title">Director of DEI Learning, Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion</div> </div> </a></div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div class="l-page__full-bleed"> <section class="has-bottom-border l-section is-transparent"> <div class="l-constrain"> <div class="l-section__main"> <h2 class="l-section__title"><p>Latest News & Commentary</p></h2> <div class="l-section__link"><a href="/news-commentary">See all News & Commentary</a></div> <div class="l-section__content"> <div class="l-card-grid l-card-grid--carousel" data-card-grid-carousel> <a class="l-card-grid__skipnav u-visually-hidden u-focusable" href="#carousel">Skip carousel items</a> <div class="l-card-grid__controls" data-card-grid-carousel-controls> <button class="l-card-grid__prev" aria-label="Previous"> <svg class="c-icon is-left icon--card-grid" role="img" aria-hidden="true"><use href="/themes/nrdc_theme/dist/images/sprite.artifact.svg#angle"></use></svg></button> <button class="l-card-grid__next" aria-label="Next"> <svg class="c-icon is-right icon--card-grid" role="img" aria-hidden="true"><use href="/themes/nrdc_theme/dist/images/sprite.artifact.svg#angle"></use></svg></button> </div> <div class="l-card-grid__content" data-card-grid-carousel-content > <div data-history-node-id="45910" class="c-card"> <div class="c-card__wrapper"> <div class="c-card__media"> <img loading="lazy" srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/medium_16x9_25/public/media-uploads/h_19.00271343_rm_2400.jpg.webp?h=c3635fa2&itok=UOwfMKQe 192w, /sites/default/files/styles/medium_16x9_50/public/media-uploads/h_19.00271343_rm_2400.jpg.webp?h=c3635fa2&itok=iT40gQm- 384w, /sites/default/files/styles/medium_16x9_75/public/media-uploads/h_19.00271343_rm_2400.jpg.webp?h=c3635fa2&itok=TkHsRx9n 576w, /sites/default/files/styles/medium_16x9_100/public/media-uploads/h_19.00271343_rm_2400.jpg.webp?h=c3635fa2&itok=UG2fnnSf 768w, /sites/default/files/styles/medium_16x9_150/public/media-uploads/h_19.00271343_rm_2400.jpg.webp?h=c3635fa2&itok=mPWUrxU- 1152w, /sites/default/files/styles/medium_16x9_200/public/media-uploads/h_19.00271343_rm_2400.jpg.webp?h=c3635fa2&itok=FcXfAmpt 1360w" sizes="(min-width: 1044px) min(calc((100vw - 4.44444rem - 3.55556rem) / 3), 491px), (min-width: 1024px) calc((100vw - 4.44444rem - 1.77778rem) / 2), (min-width: 1004px) calc((100vw - 2.22222rem - 3.55556rem) / 3), (min-width: 672px) calc((100vw - 2.22222rem - 1.77778rem) / 2), calc(100vw - 2.22222rem)" width="576" height="324" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium_16x9_100/public/media-uploads/h_19.00271343_rm_2400.jpg.jpg?h=c3635fa2&itok=UG2fnnSf" alt="A child plays on the front porch of a brick home while a woman wearing a face mask looks on.
