Acme Smoked Fish, Fortune Fish and Gourmet, and Seattle Fish, as members of the Gender Equality Dialogues’ (GED) pilot cohort, collectively developed the following public charter and joint commitments:
We, the GED, have come together with the purpose of:
Identifying and lowering barriers to participation and leadership in the seafood industry
Initiating conversations about gender equity in our industry
Creating opportunities for underrepresented groups to thrive in the seafood industry
Creating a more equitable and supportive workplace for all employees
We believe that by having a diverse workforce, we will have a stronger, more resilient sector
By encouraging and embracing diversity of thought, perspective, and experience, which will in turn boost innovation, creativity, and inclusive decision-making
By increasing well-being and a sense of belonging for employees, in turn increasing engagement, performance, and retention
By working as a company to improve the employee experience by identifying areas of unconscious bias
By better reflecting the communities in which we live, work, and serve
We are committed to:
Serving as champions for a diverse and gender equitable seafood industry
Improving our understanding of how our existing practices and norms may limit or advance gender equity
Engaging in concerted efforts to support equal opportunity and equity across the company, building workplaces where the success and well-being of employees of all genders is supported
