Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at ICF
We are a purpose-driven company with a strong culture and underlying values that prize diversity, opportunity, equality, and respect. At ICF, we are not all the same. And that has always been our greatest strength.
What we believe
We have a clear vision of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging as a core component of our long-term strategy, driving impact for our employees, and reflecting the diversity of our clients and the communities they serve.
This vision is backed up by a programmatic approach based around four pillars—company, colleagues, community, and clients—with a focus on inclusive leadership and small actions that have a big impact.
Our initiatives are championed by Jana Smyth, VP of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (left) and Jamie Blockwood (right), Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging.
“We are a mission-driven company filled with people who care deeply about improving lives and making the world a better place. We encourage an environment that celebrates diversity and those important moments when new voices are heard and heeded."
"We are more successful when people of different backgrounds, experiences, and points of view come together to find solutions. We actively create opportunities for open, honest discourse and ensure we are driving tangible actions that embrace, celebrate, and grow diversity."
"Solving our clients’ toughest challenges starts with investing in our people. We are committed to fostering dialogue, connection, and belonging across diverse teams, continually improving diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at ICF, one milestone at a time."
