About the Survey: The survey, which is the first to look into identifying areas of improvement across the sector for equity, diversity and inclusion, is designed to develop a baseline understanding of today’s state of EDI in sustainability professions across multiple industries.​

​

The survey aims to provide a better understanding of the following topics:

- ​How diverse is the sector across race/ethnicity, immigration status, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, social mobility/class, education, religion, national origin, disability, neurodiversity, and caregiver status?

- What barriers to entry are faced in entering the field of sustainability?

- Have individuals experienced inclusion and equity within sustainability organizations?

- How do sustainability organizations support equity, diversity, and inclusion?
