Aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

At the Centre for Sustainable Action We view our members' initiatives through the SDG Framework. We are guided by the SDGs to ensure that our work as a whole contributes to global progress. "The Inclusion Journey" specifically supports:

SDG 5: Gender Equality??

Promoting gender equality is crucial for achieving inclusive workplaces where everyone can thrive. Our workshops and networking opportunities emphasize the importance of equitable treatment and opportunities for all genders.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth??

Inclusive workplaces foster a healthy working environment that can drive economic growth and innovation. By implementing meaningful changes and tracking progress, we aim to build workplaces that support sustainable economic development.

SDG 10: Reduced Inequality??

Our event focuses on reducing inequalities within the workplace by providing actionable strategies for creating inclusive environments. This is key to ensuring that all employees, regardless of their background, can access equal opportunities.

The Importance of Inclusion in the Workplace

Inclusion in the workplace is not just a moral imperative; it has tangible benefits for businesses. Research shows that inclusive workplaces:

- Attract and Retain Talent: Companies with inclusive cultures are better at attracting and retaining top talent. Inclusive organisations are twice as likely to meet or exceed financial targets, six times more likely to be innovative and agile, and eight times more likely to achieve better business outcomes . (Deloitte)

- Boost Innovation: Diverse teams are more innovative. Companies with more diverse management teams have 19% higher revenues due to innovation . This is because diverse teams bring a variety of perspectives, which leads to better problem-solving and decision-making. (Boston Consulting Group)

- Enhance Employee Satisfaction: Inclusive workplaces have higher employee satisfaction and lower turnover rates. Employees who feel included are more engaged, and engaged employees are 21% more productive . (Gallup)

Impact on the Triple Bottom Line

The triple bottom line (TBL) framework evaluates a company's commitment to social, environmental, and financial performance. Inclusion positively affects all three aspects of TBL:

Social: By fostering an inclusive workplace, companies contribute to social sustainability. They promote fairness, equality, and opportunities for all employees, which enhances the overall social fabric of communities.

Environmental: Inclusive companies often lead in sustainability efforts. They recognise the diverse perspectives on environmental issues, leading to innovative solutions and responsible business practices that benefit the planet.

Financial: The financial benefits of inclusion are clear. Companies with diverse and inclusive cultures perform better financially. McKinsey's research indicates that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 21% more likely to outperform their peers on profitability. ( McKinsey)
