![]() ![]() Ramona Strategies could not be immediately reached for comment. ![]() The executive summary of the report developed by Washington, D.C.-based Ramona Strategies was shared with Sierra Club members and staff on the environmental group’s portal, called Campfire. In recommending that the Sierra Club immediately build a team to respond to culture concerns, the consultants said “the current model is plainly insufficient, particularly for an organization that professes a commitment to equity and inclusion.” “It became clear that many of these individuals were well-known for engaging in this behavior and that nothing was done to meaningfully curb the behavior.” “One of the most prevalent themes we heard was that there was generally a culture at the Sierra Club that tolerated, excused, or failed to correct those managers and leaders who regularly displayed anger and aggression - yelling, berating, shaming, and otherwise demonstrating unprofessional and abusive behavior in the workplace,” the executive summary said. The investigatory process, which had been underway since at least September 2020, found that the organization’s decentralization and use of “volunteers” to lead local chapters created major accountability problems, senior and favored leaders were often reassigned after complaints to keep them in the organization, and shoddy harassment and discrimination reporting procedures kept claims from being addressed.
