-- B CORP GLOBAL CLIMATE SUMMIT - CODE OF ETHICS --
Welcome to the B Corp Global Climate Summit! We're glad you could join us. B Lab is dedicated to making the Global Climate Summit a fun, meaningful, safe and inclusive experience for everyone, regardless of gender identity or expression, age, sexual orientation, visible or hidden disability, race, religion or lack thereof, among other intersectional experiences and identities. Our community thrives on mutual respect; we will not tolerate harassment in any form. Likewise, discriminatory and/or sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any B Corp Global Climate Summit venue or virtual space, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter, and other online media.
As an organization, B Lab stands against anti-Black racism and all forms of oppression including transphobia, classism, sexism, and xenophobia. We commit to a focused and sustained action to dismantle racist systems, policies, practices, and ideologies within ourselves and our networks. As we continue to learn about injustice, we embrace radical reorientation of our consciousness and will listen to the voices of Black, Brown, Indigenous and marginalized peoples to catalyze equitable outcomes for all.
B Lab will respond appropriately to any behaviors which do not align with values as outlined above in our code of ethics, up to and including asking attendees to leave. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please notify Ellonda Williams, Director of Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.
Lead with empathy - appreciate others as human beings with abundant experiences
Get comfortable with discomfort - stretch yourself
Value diverse perspectives - honor the unique experiences each of us brings, even and especially if it is different from your own
Stay judgment free - of others and of ourselves
Maintain confidentiality - what is learned here leaves here, what is said here stays here
Advocate for your emotional wellbeing - take care of yourself
Move up, move back - move up to share your perspective and move back to listen to others' contributions
Practice radical inclusion - inclusion is everyone’s job; be a good ally to everyone: ask, assess, and assist.
