Advanced Center for Eyecare Global (ACE Global) recognizes that to fulfill its mission of developing locally self-sufficient eye care centers in underserved areas of the world through partnership, training and equipping, it must acknowledge the diverse makeup of its clients and the people who work to fulfill the mission. This mission is most effectively fulfilled through a commitment to inclusiveness as a core policy and fundamental operating principle.
To that end, ACE Global affirms its commitment to reflecting the diversity of society in its board of directors, staff, and program recipients.
ACE Global will work to ensure that its workplace has an inclusive environment that maximizes the benefits of the differences of its workers and presents equitable opportunities to all applicants and employees.
ACE Global will work diligently to see that cultural differences are not seen as obstacles in the workplace or for participation in its programs and activities but views such cultural differences as essential elements of life to be shared and acknowledged positively. Program applicants, recipients and employees will be valued and respected regardless of race, gender, religion, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, age, education, or geographic origin.
All employees of ACE Global have a responsibility to always treat others with dignity and respect. All employees are expected to exhibit conduct that reflects inclusion during work, at work functions on or off the work site, and at all other organization sponsored events. Employees who believe they have been subjected to any kind of discrimination that conflicts with the company’s diversity and inclusion policy statement should seek assistance from a supervisor or the Executive Director.
