U. S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR EQUITY ACTION PLAN

The Department of the Interior’s workforce fulfills its mission to protect and manage the Nation's natural resources and cultural heritage; provide scientific and other information about those resources; and honor its trust responsibilities or special commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and affiliated island communities. The Department plays a pivotal role in how the United States stewards its public lands and waters, increases environmental protections, pursues environmental justice, and respects our nation-to-nation relationship with Tribes. The Department is advancing this mission by embracing opportunities to promote equity in all actions through prioritizing the strengthening of interactions with the public in civil, equitable, and engaging ways that authentically demonstrate our pledge to equity. Likewise, the Department has taken a holistic approach ensuring equity is embedded throughout policy and program development and delivery across the agency.

Department of the Interior Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement. 

Through the Department of the Interior’s latest Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement, Secretary Haaland reaffirmed her commitment to ensuring that the Department fully embeds equal employment opportunity by implementing policies, practices and procedures that do not deny opportunities to employees, former employees, or applicants because of race, color, national origin, religion, age, disability, genetic information or sex, which includes pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity. We all have a responsibility to ensure the Department is inclusive and welcoming to all, to recognize and understand overt and subtle barriers to equal employment opportunity, and to foster an environment that upholds equity and respect.
