LCFS is an equal opportunity employer and consideration for employment is made without regard to: race, color, national origin, age, sex, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

We expect the LCFS organizational culture to be color cognizant, believing in the importance of racial and ethnic differences because of their profound impact on individuals, groups, communities and society, as well as acknowledging the accompanying widespread racism and discrimination in our broader society. We expect that within the organization there be explicit, productive conversations about the role of race and culture in the work we do, as well as advocacy for addressing the social injustices that result from systemic racism.
