ABOUT FIR
When we respect each other,
great things happen
It’s the diversity of our team, our skills and abilities that helps us achieve great things.
Through Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR) we’re building a culture where everyone is valued as an individual and feels comfortable to bring their whole self to work.

What leading experts have to say
Achievement of the Gold Standard demonstrates that an organisation has not only committed to building a culture of Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement (FREDIE), it also shows that it can demonstrate this in a practical way.
Through completion of staff engagement activities and a review of activities, organisations that achieve the Standard have shown that they have an approach to FREDIE that is structured, planned and embedded at the heart of what they do in terms of strategy, leadership, recruitment, recognition and positively influencing their supply chain.”
