Evidencing your commitment to and competence in the area of diversity and equality is becoming increasingly important for businesses wanting to successfully tender for public sector contracts or contracts with multinationals and international clients.
EQuality Assurance is a comprehensive certification program specifically designed for private businesses and public sector bodies to easily and effectively check the competence and commitment of their suppliers in the area of equality and diversity.
In the case of public bodies it also enables them to fulfill their duties under the Race Relations amendment Act 2000.
Suppliers undertaking the audit receive a full review across all strands of diversity; age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion and belief and disability. Through collaboration an action plan is developed to address any gaps prior to final audit.
The entire process is followed by annual progression against agreed milestones.
