Valuing people through diversity and inclusion. Code of practice for organizations
This British Standard provides a framework for holistic approaches to diversity and inclusion that enable an organization to demonstrate its commitment to valuing people in its widest sense. It is intended to facilitate the fairness and dignity of all at work.
NOTE This British Standard is informed by and supports the principles contained in BS 76000, which specifies high-level strategic requirements for a management system for valuing people.
This British Standard provides recommendations for reviewing, assessing and undertaking a competent and principled approach to diversity and inclusion that encompasses:
people management and development;
the evolution of more inclusive policies, procedures, practices and behaviours within organizations supporting supply chain capability and diversity; and
the building of productive relationships with others, be they customers or clients or people within communities.
This approach focuses on diversity and inclusion in organizations of all sectors, sizes, types and stages of development.
This standard recognizes that each organization is different and that decision-makers need to determine the most appropriate approach according to their organization’s context.
This British Standard is intended to be used by any responsible person(s) involved in organizational leadership and management. It is also relevant to stakeholders, including a directly employed workforce, contracted workers, trade unions or workforce associations and networks, community leaders, customers, clients and investors.
