We commit to build a better future for our employees, clients and partners by managing projects that positively impact our environment and the communities we live in. Every day, we pledge to confront our past and take actions to dismantle systemic racism, injustice and inequity within our organization from within our offices to on our jobsites. We will not tolerate racist, sexist, homophobic, agist or ableist behaviors. We will study and educate ourselves on the reality of systems that have caused great harm to historically marginalized communities of color, including Black, Brown, and Indigenous people. We pledge to create equity in pay, equity in leadership, and an inclusive space for everyone to be their authentic selves.
View CareersJustice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, (JEDI) are the principles we live by that ensure all stakeholders are treated with respect and given opportunities to participate in the company's decision-making processes. In practice, this means Clark Construction Company is committed to create a culture that values diversity and promotes inclusivity.
Justice means addressing and remedying any existing inequalities or injustices that may have resulted from past discrimination or exclusionary practices. Promoting justice at Clark is an ongoing process that requires constant attention and effort. It involves creating policies and practices that are fair and inclusive, and regularly reviewing and updating these policies to ensure that they are effective in promoting equality and combating discrimination. It also involves actively listening to and addressing the concerns of underrepresented groups and working to create a culture of respect and inclusion.
Equity involves ensuring that all employees have the resources and support they need to succeed and advance. This may involve providing additional support or accommodations to certain groups of employees who have historically been disadvantaged or marginalized, such as people with disabilities or members of underrepresented racial or ethnic groups. Promoting equity at Clark involves identifying and addressing any barriers or disparities that may prevent certain groups of employees from fully participating and achieving success.
Diversity refers to the qualities that make individuals unique, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical ability, neurodiversity, religious and political beliefs, socioeconomic background, and educational level. In the context of JEDI work, diversity is often understood to refer to the range of ways in which people differ. Our aim is to increase diversity within our company, and to foster an inclusive environment that is welcoming and respectful of all individuals, regardless of their differences.
Inclusion for us at Clark is about creating an environment where all individuals feel valued, supported, and able to fully participate in the company’s success. By actively promoting inclusion, we can create a culture of belonging and engagement for all individuals, regardless of their background or identity, where every individual can be their authentic selves and have a voice at the table.
