About
Stand
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 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environment from the risks associated with outdated, climate-polluting energy.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.

you interested in playing a leadership role with an environmental organization
focused on shifting the levers of corporate power? Stand is seeking a seasoned
