All Great People
WHY EQUITY, DIVERSITY, & INCLUSION MATTERS TO US
Our Approach
Equality – Providing equal opportunities for all
We have set ambitious targets and embraced an immediate, positive challenge to build on the great work achieved over the past four years, ensuring that EDI remains central to everything we do. We will continue to communicate openly and widely, inviting participation from our people in shaping the strategy, measuring progress, learning along the way, and providing regular, transparent updates.
As a business with over 60 years’ experience, we recognise the value in extending our reach into the widest diverse talent pool and ensuring that every opportunity is available to every person across the communities we serve and beyond. Our mission is to transform the built environment using innovative, self delivered, quality services, working together with our people, our customers, our suppliers, and our communities.
Fairness – Creating a level playing field where equality can operate Inclusion – Ensuring that the mechanics of debate and acceptance are employed Diversity – Establishing an understanding of the different communities, ensuring that all are represented and valued Respect – Ensuring that every difference is respected
We will create a place of respect and understanding of each other’s differences, fostering an environment where we can all be the very best of ourselves and prosper. We will make it clear that EDI is the responsibility of all employees, and everyone is accountable for ensuring we work in a place where everyone feels they belong. Our leaders will cultivate a supportive and inclusive environment, and we are committed to setting a good example within the industry in which we work We will set clear actions and targets, using data and insights to keep learning and guide us. We will review our progress to identify what has worked and what hasn’t, helping us to keep improving We will establish an employee-led platform where our people can express ideas and be comfortable respectfully challenging each other to deliver the very best outcome We will be the evidence that a diverse business is more successful than one that is not We have reviewed our actions and targets over the last four years and set ambitious goals to guide our efforts and hold ourselves to account.

A Sustainable Workforce With sustainability at our heart, we recognise that to remain an employer of choice, we must engage across a wide demographic, promoting and creating accessible opportunities to encourage applications. However, it is not just about attracting talent for today. It is essential that we create an inclusive environment where our people have the space and confidence to develop their full potential. We must also maintain this environment to retain our people and encourage them to refer and recommend others, helping us build a thriving business for the future.
Reflecting Our Society It is important that everyone in our diverse and ever-changing society is understood and highly valued. Our society is rich in cultural diversity. While progress has been made, there is still much work to do to ensure equal opportunities exist and that inequality, where identified, is actively challenged. Fairness, Inclusion & Respect Creating a culture rooted in the principles of Fairness, Inclusion, and Respect provides a strong foundation for open dialogue and builds cultural confidence that embraces difference. Shared ideas form the basis for healthy debate and require active listening and engagement to explore new perspectives and discover better ways of working together.
