Diversity & Inclusion

We understand that the regulated cannabis industry does not exist in a vacuum, it exists on nearly half a century of systemic racism and inequity. Enacting change requires us to come together and do the work. We have a responsibility to our staff and our partners to reinforce our commitment to inclusivity.

The Jupiter Research Diversity & Inclusion Task Force was formed with a common mission, to develop initiatives that establish and maintain an accessible, dynamic, and inclusive organization for employees, customers, and partners of all races, cultures, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, abilities, sexual orientations, and gender expressions. Our growing Task Force meets bimonthly to discuss the progress of our initiatives, to educate ourselves and set standards for our industry.

Task Force Goals and Objectives

  • Set the standard for anti-racism work within the cannabis industry 
  • Educate on anti-racism through resource-sharing and open communication 
  • Identify, address, and eliminate implicit bias and systemic racism within the workplace 
  • Improve equity and establish best practices 
  • Goal is not to agree – it is to gain a deeper understanding  
  • Establish a space to openly share ideas and opinions 
  • Use what we learn in our daily Jupiter lives
