Diversity and inclusion at ICF

What we believe
We are at our best when every member of our team feels respected, included, and heard—when everyone can show up as themselves and do their best work every day. Our purpose statement and values correspond directly with how we view the world as people, not just employees.
Words from our leaders
"ICF was founded 50 years ago to finance minority-owned businesses in Washington, D.C. and support disadvantaged communities. We are proud to continue to be a mission-driven company filled with people who care deeply about improving lives and making the world a better place. We will always encourage an environment that celebrates diversity and those important moments when new voices are heard and heeded."

John Wasson President and CEO |
"We are more successful as a community when people of different backgrounds, experiences, and points of view come together to find solutions as unique as the challenges we face. This concept is core to ICF’s identity. But like many companies, there is more we can do. We will actively create opportunities for open, honest discourse and ensure we are driving tangible actions that embrace, celebrate and grow diversity in all forms here at ICF."
