SF Environment - Statement on Racial Equity
For over 20 years, SF Environment has worked with San Francisco's Black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) communities to mitigate environmental burdens, increase accessibility of environmental programs and benefits, engage community members, and improve health outcomes.
BIPOC communities are disproportionately exposed to environmental stressors that include air and soil pollution, illegal dumping of toxics and other materials, industrial land uses and transportation impacts.
They are more likely to live in housing conditions with limited access to green space and where poor indoor air quality from pests, mold, and the use of toxic products contributes to the prevalence of asthma and other health disparities.
They are more likely to be employed in areas with high levels of exposure to toxics.
Now, they are the first communities feeling the impacts of climate change, with the fewest resources to respond.
SF Environment has a longstanding commitment to the principles of environmental justice, whereby communities most impacted by environmental stressors and climate change are prioritized and the long-time work of community leaders is recognized and supported.
We are committed to uplifting the contributions of local environmental leaders of diverse racial backgrounds and ensuring that racial equity is the cornerstone of all of our programs, policies, and services.


The Building Materials Circularity Coordinator will coordinate the implementation, evaluation and enforcement of state and local building material management policies and programs.
Additionally, the Building Materials Circularity Coordinator will provide expertise and analysis on issues that help the city meet its Zero Waste targets of reducing discarded material generation by 15% by 2030, and material disposal by 50% by 2030.
This position plays a critical role in advancing San Francisco's Climate Action Plan (CAP) by leading efforts to research, develop, and implement select actions from the CAP's Circular Economy Strategy 1:
Use circular, low-carbon, safe and healthy construction processes and materials that center environmental justice communities and minority business enterprises.
Key areas of practice include, but are not limited to, policy and program development, stakeholder engagement and advocacy, construction site inspections, technical assistance, facilitating compliance monitoring and code enforcement actions, and developing performance tracking and data management practices.
The Building Materials Circularity Coordinator will have day-to-day decision-making responsibilities for executing project deliverables as well as the ability to negotiate within project scopes.
