Investment and portfolio: There is no such thing as an equality “neutral” investor or investment. In our investment strategy we want to embed equality, diversity, and inclusion considerations intentionally, reflecting these in how we articulate our impact approach where it is meaningful wherever possible. Engagement and market building: We will work with partners to build our shared capacity and understanding on how to improve equality, diversity, and inclusion in the wider sector. Focusing on breaking down barriers, we will develop shared tools and resources with users at the heart of design to support this and collaborate share and amplify the best practice of others.
