Goody Clancy Becomes First JUST Organization in the City of Boston

BOSTON, Aug. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Architecture, planning, and preservation firm Goody Clancy (www.goodyclancy.com) is now Boston's first JUST organization. JUST is a voluntary disclosure and transparency platform created by the International Living Future Institute (https://living-future.org/just/) to measure social justice and equity in the workplace. JUST requires that participants like Goody Clancy disclose a range of organization- and employee-related metrics—data which is then publicly shared.

• JUST social justice and equity indicators include:
• Diversity (non-discrimination, and gender and ethnic diversity)
• Equity (pay scale equity, gender pay equity, living wage, family-friendly policies)
• Safety (occupational safety, hazardous chemicals)
• Worker Benefit (happiness, benefit programs, continuing education)
• Local Benefit (local control, local sourcing)
• Stewardship (responsible investing, volunteering, charitable giving, transparency)

"Goody Clancy has a longstanding commitment to the principles of social justice and equity, both within our firm and through the work we do with our clients and their communities," says David Spillane, Goody Clancy President. "But becoming a JUST organization has added new rigor to our policies, required us to adopt clear metrics to measure our success, and allowed us to identify areas where we can and should do more. In sharing our commitments publicly, we're establishing a baseline on which we can build."
