Stand,Campaigner Jobs in Canada

About Stand

Stand (formerly ForestEthics) is nonprofit environmental organization working
to create a world where respect for people and the environment comes first. Our
campaigns challenge destructive corporate and governmental practices, demand
accountability, and create solutions that support all of us — and the
environment and climate we depend upon.

Stand’s strategic approach and fierce determination have yielded extraordinary
results: since 1999, we have secured the protection of 65 million acres of
wilderness, shifted billions of dollars of corporate purchasing toward
responsible options, and changed the environmental practices of more that 100
major U.S. corporations. We are a leading voice in the effort to protect our
communities, climate, and environment from the risks associated with outdated,
climate-polluting energy.

Stand recognizes and respects the sovereignty of First Nations and tribes, as
well as the rights of indigenous people and frontline communities. These
communities are often first and most directly impacted, and they provide
critical leadership in developing solutions.

Stand is an equal opportunity employer; we have a strong commitment to equity
and inclusion, and value the leadership and skills of people from diverse
backgrounds. People of color, LGBTQ persons, and people from other historically
marginalized backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Stand operates in the United States and Canada.

Stand rein in the unregulated climate impact of the shipping industry. Shipping

future.
