We are an employee-owned, independent, geographically diverse, talented company able to forge our own vibrant future.
We aim to be a company where the best global talent wants to work and can contribute, develop and succeed.
This means that EDI is vitally important to us. Being more representative means, we are better able to serve our clients and the communities in which we operate, bringing a wider range of experiences and views to our work. We are committed to providing equality of opportunity and reward for all our employees, so we must safeguard a culture that ensures equality, diversity and inclusivity.
Measuring our EDI goals
To measure our EDI performance, we use the UK Equalities Act 2010 framework. This framework covers nine ‘protected characteristics’ – age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage & civil partnership, sexual orientation, pregnancy & maternity, race, religion & belief and gender.
To further ensure progress, we measure ourselves in all our geographies against available benchmarks for:
- the private sector (specifically professional services);
- our industry; and
- our communities.
