European Diversity Awards

Run by the Global Diversity Company, which promotes diversity and equality across the UK, Europe and beyond, the European Diversity Awards bring together leading professionals to showcase their fantastic work to dispel discrimination against all diversity areas: race, age, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity and belief. It has been consistently shown that organisations which implement this strategy perform better in their market, demonstrate improved staff retention and engagement, and hold greater appeal to millennial and Generation Y jobseekers.

Linda Riley, founder of the European Diversity Awards, commented at the event: “All of the European Diversity Award winners should rightly feel proud because in their own way they have contributed to making Europe a more tolerant, diverse and just society. And in the year of Brexit, with all the uncertainty about the future that brings, these awards are more important than ever.”
