In 2020, Diversity in Sustainability(DiS) launched its inaugural State of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in Sustainability Survey. With over 1,500 responses, the survey provides valuable insights into current demographics, barriers to entry and advancement, as well as a view of individual experiences and organisational approaches to EDI.
It is our ambition that, together with organisations like DiS, we’ll soon see an equitable and equal playing field that enables an increase in employee engagement, a shift to more inclusive stakeholder relations, and a profession where diversity of thought and experience is embedded in every organization and their value systems.
