Shared Lab Culture Statement

 January 2025 

The Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability vision is to “draw on a deep understanding of Earth, climate, and society to create knowledge and foster scalable solutions in collaboration with partners worldwide.” It is in pursuit of this mission that the SDSS Shared Labs promote a collaborative and supportive environment that will allow all our community members to thrive scientifically and personally. We believe that inclusion and equity are essential for scientific progress, education, and innovation. We are committed to creating a diverse and welcoming environment where individuals from all backgrounds and experiences feel valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives. We live these values through the following guiding principles: 

1. Rigor and integrity in our work 
2. Service to our community 
3. Continuing to self-reflect on the work and service we provide to address any community concerns and ensure a positive impact 
4. Embracing diversity of ideas, identities, thoughts, and perspectives 
5. Fostering a respectful workplace 
6. Commitment to shared lab cooperation
