The Commitment

This Commitment serves as an anchor for Catalyst 2030 team members, something to refer back to and to keep in mind when moving forward in our work. We are steadfastly committed to social justice, diversity and inclusion and require every team member to register their commitment to respecting the values and principles we uphold by agreeing to the following Declaration:

1.   People and nature at the centre

I commit to caring for people and nature and place them at the heart of what we do. I will respect the inherent value, equality and dignity of all the people.  I will centre my work around their wellbeing and growth and to stand accountable to them for my actions.

2.   Co-creative mindset

I commit to acknowledging my own biases and silos and to seek to move beyond them.  I will set aside my ego to collectively create value with others. I understand what I produce for Catalyst 2030 is non-proprietary.

3.  Collaborative spirit

I commit to act in the spirit of collaboration, respect diverse opinions and are sensitive to different cultural ways of communicating. I commit to share knowledge and credit our collective impact.

4.  Humble audacity

I commit to act with the audacity needed to achieve collaborative systems change and also with the humility to know that I cannot do this alone.

5.  Spirit of Generosity

I commit to contribute actively to the mission, vision and values of Catalyst 2030 with my knowledge, skills, time as needed and as possible. I commit to celebrate the shared success of achieving our collective goals.  I will be accountable to other Catalyst team members’ behaviours and actions and they will be accountable to me.

By signing this form, I confirm my commitment to abide by these principles.
