Triangle’s Commitment Statement
We stand firmly with Black Lives Matter and all marginalized people, and those working toward racial justice, equity, and inclusion. We stand with all oppressed people who live in a world made dangerous and unjust by systemic racism. History and lived experience matter, and because of that, we declare ourselves as not impartial and not neutral about this issue – not in our private lives and not in our work.

Triangle’s Community Engagement Statement
Community engagement at Triangle Associates is rooted in concepts of equity and justice and aligns with our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Triangle’s community engagement strategic plan guides us to make connections between communities, governments and the private sector to foster individual and institutional change with the goal of providing a framework to guide the strategies and community engagement practices for Triangle’s work. Our efforts are grounded in the premise that community involvement is critical to the public decision-making process and empower communities to take active roles in the decisions that affect their lives and shape their environments.
