workplace provides opportunities to develop their potential and <br />contribute to the success of the business. <br />WCW also has a deep respect for the extraordinary sacrifice of our Veterans and <br />the unique challenges they face. Therefore, WCW will endeavor to include <br />Veterans as part of their workplace diversity mandate. <br />Finally, WCW recognizes that the decades long war on drugs has exacted a heavy <br />economic, social, and political toll on some of Santa Ana's most vulnerable <br />communities. This toll includes erecting barriers to capital access/wealth <br />creation, job opportunities, affordable housing, education and political <br />engagement, as well as worsened disparities in health and life outcomes. These <br />targeted communities are often heavily comprised of marginalized, low income <br />people of color. Moreover, many of those who helped build the industry and <br />develop cannabis for medical and recreational use have been pushed farthest <br />from the starting line. <br />Consistent with principles of Social Equity, and WCW's Triple Bottom Line <br />framework that places people on par with profits, WCW believes the benefits of <br />the cannabis industry should be widely distributed, that any disadvantages or <br />costs do not unfairly burden communities or groups, and that the industry <br />should reflect society as a whole. WCW is committed to a hiring policy that <br />reflects these core values. <br />Moving beyond the People aspects of WCW's TBL framework as they relate to <br />employees, the social capital aspects of the People component must also be <br />measured in terms of improved social welfare or community benefit gained. This <br />aspect is detailed in the following section regarding "Community Benefit and/or <br />Youth Programs" in Santa Ana. <br />1.3 Past Experience and Commitment to Community Benefit and/or Youth <br />Programs in Santa Ana: <br />The WCW Team has substantial experience in a wide range of "Community <br />Benefit and/or Youth Programs".
