(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 than 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environment from the risks associated with outdated, climate-polluting energy.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 operates in the United States and Canada.
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.

17% by 2050, this is a critical sector in the work towards a climate safe
future. We will work with an initial focus on cruise ships.
