Blogs for the Diverse Sustainability Initiative

Our blogs are provided by those working within the environment/sustainability profession and volunteers who are passionate about equality, diversity and inclusion.

Keep up to date on challenges, barriers and experiences of professionals. Transparency underpins the activity of the Diverse Sustainability Initiative (DSI) and through regular blogs and updates we hope to keep you informed and keep our partners accountable.

From themes such as inclusive recruitment, environmental justice and allyship, the content is wide-ranging. If you’d like to support the Initiative by writing a blog, we’d love to hear from you.
