Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Sustainability
To provide everyone with the chance to enjoy creativity, we need to let everyone have a seat at the table. Firstly, this means a commitment to protecting the earth, so we’ve got a table to sit at! Secondly, it demands dedication – not only to encouraging diversity, but to leading by example. We are working actively to make DG Unlimited a fierce defender of our planet, and of marginalised creatives.
Equality Diversity and Inclusion
DG Unlimited is determined to help Scotland’s creative sector become accessible for all, and that begins with opening our own doors. We’re working towards ensuring organisational equality, deepening the diversity of our team and membership, and providing opportunities for marginalised voices to come to the fore.
We believe that underrepresented groups deserve not only to be platformed, but to be amplified, glorified, and celebrated! For more information on how we’re working to make Dumfries and Galloway’s creative sector a richer, more diverse place. See our full Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion statement.
Environmental sustainability
We acknowledge that an important part of forging a contemporary organisation to meet the needs of all D&G’s creatives is making decisions which are respectful to our environment. We know how fortunate we are to live in a part of Scotland with rich biodiversity. To live in a world Biosphere area, to have the Solway Coast beside us, the Southern Uplands, the Galloway Forest Park, and the Dark Skies Park at the heart of our region. Dumfries and Galloway’s natural environment is a major source of inspiration for our creatives, and it imbues its restorative effects upon us all.
DG Unlimited remains committed to protecting this precious resource, and to fighting the climate crisis, alongside our friends and partners, by all means available to us. To learn more about how we’re ensuring sustainability, and our commitment to Net Zero, see our full Environmental Sustainability statement.
