Georgia Life Sciences: Anti-Racism Statement and Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
At Georgia Life Sciences, we believe inclusive excellence is fundamental to advancing innovation, improving health outcomes, and strengthening the life sciences economy. Our mission—to expand access to breakthrough technologies and enhance the well-being of people worldwide—can only be realized when every voice is heard, valued, and respected.
We denounce all forms of racism, discrimination, and hate. Our organization stands firmly against actions or rhetoric that seek to divide based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or any other identity. These principles are non-negotiable and remain central to our work.
We know that diverse perspectives fuel scientific discovery, business innovation, and workforce resilience. As a statewide, nonpartisan convener, Georgia Life Sciences is committed to fostering a life sciences ecosystem that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.
This commitment includes:
- Continual Learning and Accountability: We are committed to listening, adapting, and evolving our practices to ensure fairness, access, and opportunity across our programs and partnerships.
- Expanding Access: We work intentionally to ensure underrepresented voices are included in shaping Georgia’s life sciences future—from workforce development to innovation to policy.
- Collaborative Leadership: We invite our members, partners, and stakeholders to join us in building a more inclusive, equitable, and impactful life sciences community—together.
Inclusive excellence is not a separate initiative—it is a foundational value that informs everything we do.
