  • Talent - Actively support and promote attracting and retaining diverse talent, fostering more robust recruiting practices and development opportunities
  • Education - Promote D&I awareness in our organization through a multi-faceted educational and communication program.
  • Community Outreach - Promote diversity and inclusion awareness externally by sharing the TortoiseEcofin story about our beliefs, views and initiatives and providing support for community D&I causes that align with those values
  • Clients/Partners - Ensure fair representation of diversity in all of the firm’s dealings
Our Strategic Plan

Accountability

Responsibility for these actions lives with each employee across the firm. Accountability falls on the leaders of the firm, including the Executive Committee and the Diversity & Inclusion Committee, which leads the firm’s D&I programs and is comprised of a diverse group of employees including senior management. The objective of this committee is to cultivate and preserve a culture of diversity and inclusion and ensure a diverse and inclusive mindset permeates the core of everything we do.

We intend to publicly update our D&I strategic plan, statistics, and progress on our priority areas at least annually.
