Diversity, Equity, Belonging, and Respect (DEBR) at Beyond Benign

At Beyond Benign, we believe that true sustainability is only possible when it is inclusive. Our work to advance green chemistry education is grounded in a commitment to diversity, equity, belonging, and respect (DEBR).

Inclusion means creating spaces where all voices are valued, all individuals feel a sense of belonging, and opportunities are accessible to everyone. By practicing our mission through a DEBR lens, we strive to ensure that green chemistry is not only a tool for building a healthier planet, but also a pathway to a more just, equitable, and welcoming community.

When people feel a true sense of belonging, they are empowered to contribute their best – and together, we can build a sustainable future grounded in green chemistry.
