Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2024-2027
Our three-year equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy 2024-2027 aims to build on everything we have achieved since we published our first ever EDI strategy in 2020, and is a renewed commitment to achieve even more.
Our EDI strategy 2024-2027 will focus on three main themes:
- Theme 1: Social mobility
Attracting a diverse pool of talent into the chartered accountancy profession is not only the right thing to do, but it also resonates with our Royal Charter to act in the public interest. Social mobility is a crucial factor in the creation of a vibrant, sustainable and healthy economy. Supporting the aims and ambitions of the ICAS Foundation that focus on social mobility,will help us to enable change in the profession.
- Theme 2: Equality
A 2022 Green Park report found that women and ethnic minorities are still being overlooked for senior roles. We want to play our part in creating a fair, equal profession, and will focus our activity on placing greater emphasis on gender and race equality. We will shape the debate and drive positive change in business.
- Theme 3: Wellbeing
Valuing wellbeing and unique styles of thinking, communicating, and working are integral to all our equality objectives. Through this theme, we will ensure that our members and students are supported and have access to resources and assistance.
