Diversity & Inclusion

At SEED, we believe that diversity is our strength and inclusion is our responsibility. As an organization working at the intersection of climate, education and social equity, we are committed to creating a work culture and community engagement model that welcomes, respects and values differences.

Our Approach:

• • Inclusive Work Culture: SEED fosters a workplace that embraces people from diverse social, economic, regional and gender identities — creating space for everyone to contribute meaningfully and thrive.
• • Gender Equity: We actively work to create equal opportunities for women, girls and gender-diverse individuals across our programs, teams and leadership structures. Our efforts are reflected in both our internal policies and community interventions.
• • Local Representation & Voice: In climate-affected regions like the Sundarbans, we prioritize the inclusion of local youth, women and marginalized groups as program leaders, volunteers and field researchers — ensuring solutions are rooted in lived experience.
• • Accessible Communication & Participation: Our materials and training are designed to be inclusive, using local languages and culturally sensitive approaches to reach the most underserved communities.
• • Accountability & Learning: We continuously assess our practices through staff feedback, community consultations and periodic reviews to improve inclusivity in every layer of our work.
