Policy : Inclusive & Diverse Engineering Culture

Commitment to Equity, Belonging, and Innovation Through Diversity
We believe that diverse perspectives drive better engineering outcomes, and inclusion is fundamental to innovation. We are committed to creating an engineering culture where every individual - regardless of background, identity, or experience - feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute.
We recognise that diversity is not just about representation; it’s about fostering an environment where all voices matter, where differences are embraced, and where everyone can thrive. A truly inclusive culture enables us to build better products, solve complex problems, and create a workplace that attracts and retains top talent.

What This Means
Inclusion and diversity must be actively nurtured and embedded into our culture, hiring practices, and ways of working. We are committed to ensuring that every engineer has an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background.

Our commitment to an Inclusive & Diverse Engineering Culture is built on:

• Equitable Hiring & Growth Opportunities – We ensure that recruitment, career progression, and leadership opportunities are inclusive and accessible to all.
• A Culture of Respect & Psychological Safety – Engineers are encouraged to bring their whole selves to work, knowing that their contributions are valued.
• Bias Awareness & Inclusive Decision-Making – We actively identify and mitigate bias in hiring, promotions, and team interactions.
• Diverse Perspectives in Problem-Solving – We seek input from a wide range of voices, ensuring that our solutions reflect the needs of all users.
• Zero Tolerance for Discrimination & Harassment – We maintain clear policies and swift action against exclusionary or harmful behaviours.

Why This Matters
An inclusive and diverse engineering culture is not just a moral imperative - it is a business advantage. By fostering inclusion and diversity, we:

• Create stronger, more creative, and high-performing teams.
• Improve innovation by incorporating diverse perspectives and ideas.
• Enhance employee engagement, retention, and overall workplace satisfaction.
• Build technology that is more representative, ethical, and impactful for all users.

Our Expectation
All teams must actively foster an inclusive environment, ensuring that every engineer feels respected, valued, and empowered. Leaders must champion diversity in hiring, mentorship, and team culture, ensuring that inclusion is not just an initiative, but a fundamental part of how we work.
To support this policy, inclusive hiring practices, diversity programs, and equity-driven leadership training will be embedded into our engineering culture, ensuring that teams have the awareness, tools, and commitment needed to sustain a diverse and inclusive workplace.
By making inclusion and diversity a core engineering principle, we create a workplace where all individuals thrive - delivering Better Value Sooner Safer Happier.

This policy reinforces equity, belonging, and diverse representation, ensuring that engineering teams are inclusive, innovative, and high-performing.
