Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy

Placemaking London believes that equality, diversity and inclusion benefits everyone, as well as the work we do. We support a positive culture of respect, understanding and fairness, where talent, creativity and performance are celebrated unconditionally. We know that an inclusive, diverse workforce makes us stronger, more informed and more understanding, and it only from this understanding that our teams can feel free to express their skills and creativity to their fullest. When our teams produce their best work in a positive climate of equality, diversity and inclusion, then everyone benefits – teams, our clients and the work we produce.

Aims

Treating everyone we come into contact with as we ourselves would wish to be treated – fairly, respectfully and decently.



Working constructively and fairly with clients and colleagues, providing opportunities according to talent and rewarding performance based on merit.

Creatively understanding that diversity of experience can bring rich ranges of solutions from which to bring the best solutions to our clients.
