The values and principles of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to EDO’s genuine desire to reflect the community in which we operate, so that we can be stronger as an organisation and provide the best advocacy, representation and access to justice. [...] Further, the history of colonisation in Australia and across the Pacific, and its continued manifestations, requires us, as we undertake our work, to understand the region’s true history, First Nations’ sovereignty and the central role First Nations and indigenous peoples play in the protection and restoration of nature. [...] • Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion principles and values are to be manifested at every level of EDO through the structures, policies, communications, attitudes and actions of the organisation and the EDO community. [...] EDO resolves to have an equitable and consistent approach to recruitment and selection across the organisation in order to attract, select and retain the best person for the job regardless of their personal attributes. [...] Recruit and retain staff with a commitment to gender equality, build staff and partner capacity and skills in gender equality and diversity and ensure that all annual operating plans job descriptions and performance plans reflect EDO’s Pasifik Program’s commitment to gender equality.
