Supply Chain Advice Pack: Introduction to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion for the supply chain

Introduction

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion are three interconnected principles to promote fair treatment and opportunity for all. This is critical to retrofit because it ensures projects are fair, inclusive, and effective for all residents. Retrofit programmes impact diverse communities, and without EDI, solutions risk excluding vulnerable groups, reducing trust, and failing to meet real needs.
