Perennial Strategy recognizes the importance of equity and inclusion in its work and values. Founded by women with white privilege, the company openly acknowledges the need to address the use of power and access through the lens of all intersecting identities. They commit to authentic dialogue and strive to be better together, working in respectful partnerships and pausing to reassess if trust or shared purpose is compromised. Perennial's commitment to equity extends to their client work, as they explicitly mention how their work with Portland General Electric focuses on centering youth in the clean energy transition, particularly BIPOC and LGBTQ+ youth, through their Project Zero internship program.
