Home » Why work at Equans? » Diversity and Inclusion

Here at Equans we want to create a great place to work, where everyone feels comfortable to be themselves and able to achieve their potential.

Our Diversity & Inclusion Roadmap outlines the actions we are taking to make our culture more inclusive – so that everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other part of their identity, feels accepted for who they are, and our policies and ways of working take everyone’s needs into consideration. Alongside our Roadmap we have a number of employee networks aimed at giving everyone a voice.  These networks offer the opportunity for you to network and socialise, work on professional development, and to raise awareness of relevant issues.

Equans UK’s employee networks are Disability Network, LGBTQ+ Network, RISE (Respecting, Inspiring & Supporting Ethnic Minorities), WiE (Women in Equans), WPN (Working Parents Network), and YPN (Young Professionals Network).

Attracting and retaining the best talent is key to creating a high performing culture. Our ambition is to be the number one place to work for our employees and the partner of choice for our clients and suppliers. By creating a great place to work and encouraging people from all backgrounds to join us, we are future proofing our business. Diversity of thought drives innovation and this creates exciting opportunities where our people can develop and grow. I am really proud of the six networks we have established as part of our focus on creating a diverse workforce and the activities they have delivered – helping us to create a culture that is inclusive of everyone.
