Diversity
Equity
Inclusion
Davies values diversity of thought and the benefits that a diverse workforce brings to the business. We are committed to creating and maintaining an environment that embraces diversity and inclusion and where everyone is treated equitably.
To support the growth and retention of a diverse workforce, Davies encourages the formation of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). Our ERGs are run by their members with support from the business and their aim is to foster a culture of inclusion by supporting our population through awareness (via the provision of education and communication), celebration (through engagement and events) and change (to support the needs of our diverse workforce).
DEI Governance sits in the People pillar of our Responsible Business Strategy and is led by our Global Responsible Business Officer, Gillie Fairbrother. Our ERGs run in synergy with our group approach to Responsible Business and DEI and help to drive the targets of our strategies. Responsible Business performance at Davies is measured by progress towards targets and KPIs, which includes our dashboard of non-financial metrics that is reported annually in our Responsible Business report.
