皇冠体育app Programme and Project Partners at Sellafield are proud to announce they have signed up to undertake the Investors in Diversity accreditation from the National Centre for Diversity (NCD).

皇冠体育app partnership is the first in the nuclear sector to pursue the diversity award and hopes to set a precedent for many others to follow.

皇冠体育app accreditation is recognised as the national equality standard providing organisations with a bespoke approach to embedding equality, diversity, inclusion and fairness in all that it does.

皇冠体育app programme focuses on the NCD鈥檚 FREDIE principles - fairness, respect, equality, diversity, inclusion and engagement.

皇冠体育app Programme and Project Partners currently have a team of around 1,400 people drawn from the partner organisations and is 3 years into a 20-year contract. 皇冠体育app team is set to increase to 1,900 people over the next year.

Programme and Project Partners managing director, Duncan Elliott said:

We鈥檙e almost 3 years into our partnership and recognise we can do more to promote equality, diversity and inclusion across our team.

皇冠体育app Investors in Diversity accreditation will provide us with a framework to create an environment where all our employees can thrive and one which attracts the talent we need to deliver some of the UK鈥檚 most challenging infrastructure projects.

We cannot reach our full potential without maximising the talents of all and we鈥檙e 100% committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across the programme. This is a positive step forward for our partnership, our employees, the talent we will attract and the wider nuclear sector.

皇冠体育app partners first step in working towards the accreditation will be to conduct a workforce wide cultural audit to establish where it is right now in terms of equality, diversity and inclusion, and then, where it wants to be.

Solat Chaudhry, chief executive of the National Centre for Diversity, said:

For us the most critical element of diversity is not where businesses are on your journey, it鈥檚 where they want to be.

By undertaking the accreditation, the partners are demonstrating their commitment to improving levels of fairness, respect, equity, diversity, inclusion and engagement.

Working towards the accreditation award is a visible internal and external sign that the partners are committed to achieving sustainable, meaningful positive action. We look forward to working together.
