Our Culture

Behavioral Values

At the Non-GMO Project, we dream big, aim high, and recognize that a strong, intentional culture is the foundation for everything we do. Our behavioral values are the essential and enduring tenets of our organization; these are the non-negotiables that guide our actions and behavior, shape our culture, and reflect who we want to be intrinsic as an organization.

Guiding Values

We believe that how we do our work is as important as what we do, and that, in fact, those two things are inseparable. We are inspired to do our part to help create a better world, and we know that being aligned on values, vision, and strategic trajectory is critical to our shared success. Our guiding values inform why we do our work and what we care most about; they are the beliefs that inform everything we do.

NATURE IS LIFE. We remember, always, that we are interdependent members of the infinitely intricate, beautiful web of life. We recognize that nature has a complexity that is far beyond human capacity to conceive of, and which we have a responsibility to protect. We know that nature is not a set of resources to be extracted and manipulated, but is, in fact, our one and only home, and the sustainer of all life.

WE CREATE OUR WORLD, TOGETHER. We believe in the power of our individual and collective choices, and we care not only about what we are doing, but also who we are being and becoming through our everyday actions. From the food choices, we make to how we treat each other, together we are shaping the world we live in. We endeavor to be open-hearted collaborators, creatively and intelligently acting in service of the greater good.

HONOR DIVERSITY. We honor and support diversity and recognize that it is a requirement of any healthy, resilient system. From diversity in the microbiomes of our soils and bodies to the diversity of human beings and cultures to the biodiversity of all life on our planet, we seek opportunities to protect and promote diversity.

Our Commitment to Honoring Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The Non-GMO Project is committed to creating, sustaining, and continuously investing in an inclusive and equitable workplace. We seek to actively nurture and celebrate our differences, reinforcing an environment where we value and recognize the full personhood of each member of our community. Our differences enrich the work we do together, and we’re better for learning from the ideas, perspectives, and contributions of all employees. We want to infuse diversity of thought and experience into our holistic approach to problem-solving, decision-making, and innovation. We also recognize that we have a long way to go to realize this important aspiration, and we’re committed to this work together.

We will go to great lengths to ensure that your hiring experience is equitable from beginning to finish. Consider this your invitation to apply without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, neurodiversity, or genetics. It’s our honor to acknowledge and celebrate the life experience you bring to the table, and we promise to steward your story with respect and intention.

Fully Remote & Hybrid In-Office Flexibility

We are a “Remote First” workplace. Our Bellingham office is open to those who would like to use it. The majority of staff are remote, and some are well outside of a commutable distance to the office. We offer the tech and tools needed to stay in touch and innovate from anywhere.

Flexible Work Hours

We’re a lively group of dynamic individuals, who make up more than the sum of our professional work. Providing flexibility in the work week is one of our key strategies for supporting our staff’s well-being.

Generous Time Off - Vacation, Sick Days, and Holidays

We believe in the healing powers of the beach, the mountains, your mom’s house, staycations, or wherever it is you choose to adventure or unwind. Vacation time starts accruing right away and we don’t require that you wait to take it. With paid holidays, paid time off for your birthday, and all of your paid sick leave available at once, we encourage balance and rest for you and your loved ones.

Paid Maternity/Paternity Leave

We support parents during the life-changing time of welcoming a new child through birth, adoption, or foster placement. We provide flexible arrangements to ease parents back into work when they are ready to return, and work with employees to ensure their needs are met through paid leave programs and other resources.

Short-Term Disability Coverage

It’s important to us that you’re supported when you need it the most, that’s why we offer Short-Term Disability Insurance at no cost to full-time employees. In case of an accident or planned medical leave, this coverage is there for you to lean on.

Employee Assistance Program

We place a high value on cultivating a culture of wellness, which means that we offer health benefits (medical and dental), and programs that support your diverse needs. This includes an Employee Assistance Program with a wide range of free services available to you and your loved ones.
