Introduction to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion for the supply chain
Introduction
Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) are three interconnected principles to promote fair treatment and opportunity for all.
- Equality refers to providing equal access to opportunities and reducing systemic inequalities.
- Diversity recognises and values the differences among people, including race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, and socio-economic background.
- Inclusion is about creating environments where all individuals feel welcomed, respected, and empowered to contribute.
