We are committed to fostering an inclusive culture within GGI and extending these efforts to our clients and communities, promoting inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility in every aspect of our work. GGI has intentionally integrated diverse lived experiences by including staff, collaborators, and affiliates who represent the broad range of communities, clients, and organizations we serve and learn from.
Our Commitment to Equity-Affirming Evaluation and Consulting
GGI builds trust through humility, empathy, and active listening. In our work, equity-affirming spaces mean ensuring that everyone – clients, stakeholders, participants, and team members – feels valued and supported. Our approach is rooted in Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA), which guides us in developing solutions that reflect diverse ideas and needs.
- Diversity acknowledges and respects all forms of difference, from race and ethnicity to gender, age, nationality, disability, sexuality, and more. We recognize that individuals have diverse and intersecting identities, which shape their experiences and may present unique opportunities.
- Equity is about fairness and justice, ensuring equitable access to opportunities, resources, and support for everyone, regardless of their starting point. We focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of disparities, facilitating systems and processes to be more accessible and fairer for all, especially for those facing disadvantages.
- Inclusion is about fostering spaces where diversity is embraced, and individuals feel safe, respected, and valued. We work to ensure that all voices are considered and that unconscious bias does not exclude any group. Our goal is to create spaces where everyone’s needs are recognized and met.
By applying IDEA principles, we strive to create solutions and systems that are fair, respectful, and designed to support everyone’s success.
