Executive Summary
In January 2003, The Prime Minister asked for practical recommendations for organisations and government to work together to make a real difference to the issues of racial equality and diversity in the workplace.
  • Age
  • Disability
  • Ethnic or national origin
  • Gender
  • Race
  • Religion
  • Sexual orientation

The case for change is straightforward:
  • Become a preferred employer and supplier
  • Have vision - look at demographic trends - these will impact on your organisation in the not too distant future
  • A recognised, committed to equality, employer, reduces the risks and costs on non-compliance.
  • The gains generated will raise profits and increase the worth of the business
Racial equality and diversity in the workplace is a key dimension of Corporate Social Responsibility. Without doubt, integrating race equality and diversity into business strategy makes good bottom line sense
 
A practical solution to deliver the recommendation is the creation of a distinct body, Committed2Equality, (C2E) to assist, advise and record commitment from SMEs and large organisations alike, working within the existing infrastructure
 
C2E is a solution to bring practical recommendations to life. Therefore we have specifically created a vehicle to advance existing activity and to deliver real measurable results on the equality agenda. Good Practice - Change models for Business to adopt – appropriate to their size
 
A unique registration number will be confirmation to all, of the organisations Commitment to Equality

In December 2004 - Local Pathway Programmes were created to provide assistance for the implementation of the appropriate Change model.
 
Change models are available for organisations of all sizes and include an award system for equality achievers. The award is a public display of commitment, and hence organisations have the opportunity of achieving public recognition
 
Recognition of commitment will aid the choice of suppliers, for large or small organisations, for government and for local councils
 
Most importantly, individuals entering the employment arena can easily identify organisations, which are Committed2Equality
 
By improving visibility, C2E will enable Authorities to assess local progress. The programme will provide the ability to monitor progress and maintain a contact strategy.
 
In three years time we aim to have 60-80,000 SMEs and 3,000 large organisations Committed2Equality in the UK. Changing Attitudes and Fostering Diversity
 

The C2E initiative, in combination with the recommendations proposed by the Task Force on Race Equality and Diversity will make the "real difference" to all.
