Our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) journey has meant building EDI into the core of our business, from the heart of our corporate strategy to each and every project we undertake around the world.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While we know that organisations with improved diversity perform better and see higher financial returns, our commitment is more than that; it\u2019s about creating an environment for our people, clients, and stakeholders where they feel welcome and able to bring their whole selves to work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With a focus on employees, communities, supply chains, and thought leadership, we\u2019ve implemented a comprehensive EDI roadmap applicable across the more than 90 countries in which we operate \u2013 not an easy task considering the many diverse cultures and contexts at play. But it\u2019s one of the aspects of which we\u2019re the proudest.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve embodied the value of \u2018One Palladium,\u2019 defining our values from the bottom up, and aligning them from headquarters to our project offices across the globe. We\u2019ve translated our global initiatives around equity, diversity and inclusion into local contexts at the project level and embedded them into business-as-usual practices.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n While the makeup of our leadership team has become more diverse over the years, we\u2019ve also witnessed a shift in our internal conversations. We celebrate Race, Ethnicity, and Culture Month, Pride, and International Women\u2019s Day; dedicate a week to disability awareness; and continue to encourage and support our teams around to the world to have open conversations on these topics.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”time_sec dec_mrzin” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto|300|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”1.6em” width=”80%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||36px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n We\u2019ve decentralised accountability around equity, diversity and inclusion metrics, linking global key performance indicators to senior leaders\u2019 pay, and host quarterly regional staff forums and equal pay reviews to ensure transparency and hold our leadership team accountable to the goals and targets we set, while also making it clear that EDI is everyone\u2019s priority.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since putting these initiatives in place, our equal pay gap has gone from 21% in some parts of the business down to less than 2% globally, with some parts of the business reporting a gap of 0%.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve also achieved gender parity among the senior leadership team and many parts of our employee base. But as we know, gender is just one piece of the inclusion jigsaw. Women are not a homogenous group, and gender parity does not equal diversity or inclusion when women are only being recruited and promoted from the same privileged backgrounds as their existing male counterparts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Diversity of thought on the other hand, requires a far more intersectional approach, and one we\u2019re working towards across all areas of the business.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re proud to report on these targets and results and we acknowledge that there\u2019s still, and always, more work to be done. As we look ahead, we\u2019re iterating on our approaches, from including equity throughout our strategies, to shifting recruitment practices and selection criteria, and dismantling unconscious biases.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”light_one set_post” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_color=”#49adac” transform_rotate=”0deg|0deg|90deg” positioning=”absolute” position_origin_a=”center_right” horizontal_offset=”-80px” width=”558px” height=”65px” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" OUR COMMITMENTS Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Environment Safeguarding Localisation Global Goals Let’s Make It Possible Our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) journey has meant building EDI into the core of our business, from the heart of our corporate strategy to each and every project we undertake around the world.\u00a0 While we know that organisations with […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6737","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6737"}],"version-history":[{"count":122,"href":"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10279,"href":"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6737\/revisions\/10279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ogi.thepalladiumgroup.com\/2023\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
