Our Pledge
We are committed to creating a place where colleagues can flourish by providing a working environment that is free from discrimination, harassment or victimisation and will ensure that our recruitment, promotion and retention procedures do not treat people less favourably because of their gender identity. We are committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), providing equal opportunities to all current and prospective employees.
We aspire to have a diverse workforce because we believe that diversity enables better business outcomes. We understand that by having a more inclusive workplace, where people of different backgrounds work together, and people feel able to be themselves, ensures better outcomes for everyone.
We are:
- A Disability Confident employer and we work to ensure that people with disabilities and long-term health conditions can be themselves and feel that they belong.
- A supporter of the Women’s Trade Network - a consortium of organisations working to promote gender equality in trade roles through access to training and employment opportunities.
- A member of the Housing Diversity Network (HDN) - a social enterprise that aims to inspire and empower people, promoting equality, diversity and opportunity for all.
- Members of Inclusive Employers - who are committed to prioritising inclusion and creating truly inclusive workplaces. In inclusive workplaces all employees are valued and contribute towards the success of their organisation.
Slavery and Human Trafficking
We are committed to ensuring that there is no modern slavery in our supply chains or in any part of our organisation. As part of this, we have an Anti-Slavery Policy that reflects our commitment to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships, as well as implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery and human trafficking is not taking place anywhere in our supply chains.
