Company Description
**ABOUT US**

The **David Suzuki Foundation** is a Canadian environmental non-profit organization, founded in 1990. We operate in English and French, with offices in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. We are a Canadian settler organization striving to protect climate, nature and communities, respecting the rights and title of Indigenous Nations. We believe that Indigenous leadership is key to our collective future. We aim to work with many different peoples across Canada, including First Nations communities, all levels of governments and citizens who care for environmental justice, to find solutions to create a sustainable Canada. We use research, traditional ecological knowledge, innovative policy and legal environmental solutions, communications and public engagement.

The vision we work toward at DSF is that we all act every day on the understanding that we are interdependent with nature, and with each other. To address the intersections of the climate and biodiversity crises with social justice and equity, the Foundation is committed to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion. As an organization, we are on a transformative journey to embed these values, decolonize our practices and become an anti-racist organization. Join us in creating a socially and environmentally just world, where diverse identities, lived experiences and world views are valued as essential to our collective future.

Nous nous appuyons sur la recherche, les connaissances écologiques traditionnelles, les politiques novatrices et les solutions juridiques en matière d'environnement, la communication et l'engagement du public.

La vision que nous poursuivons au FDS est celle d'agir chaque jour en étant conscients que nous sommes interdépendants avec la nature et les uns avec les autres. La Fondation s'est engagée à promouvoir l'équité, la diversité et l'inclusion afin de répondre aux liens entre les crises du climat et de la biodiversité, et la justice sociale et l'équité. En tant qu'organisation, nous sommes en quête de transformation pour ancrer ces valeurs, décoloniser nos pratiques et devenir une organisation antiraciste. Rejoignez-nous pour créer un monde socialement et écologiquement juste, où la diversité des identités, des expériences vécues et des visions du monde est considérée comme essentielle à notre avenir collectif.
