Definitions
- Diversity: Embedding representation across a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and views.
- Equity: Demonstrating fair treatment, access, opportunity, and engagement for all.
- Inclusion: Cultivating an environment that respects and values all perspectives and taking special care to ensure that persons within historically underrepresented groups are represented.
As an organization dedicated to improving the human condition globally, RPA strives to inform our organizational strategy, culture, and work with these three principles. Each person should have the opportunity to live and thrive regardless of their race, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, religious belief, political perspective, education, socioeconomic status, and mental and physical ability. The collective sum of the individual life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self–expression, unique capabilities, and talent that our employees, clients, vendors, and board members invest in their work shapes a significant part of not only our shared culture but of RPA’s reputation and organizational achievement. This represents who we are and aligns with the philanthropic work that we do.
