BDO wins ‘Company of the Year’ at British Diversity Awards

BDO UK is proud to have won ‘Company of the Year’ at the British Diversity Awards, an annual award ceremony which recognises the progress and achievements organisations and individuals alike have taken towards greater inclusion and diversity.

The ‘Company of the Year’ category is recognised as the top corporate accolade, given to organisations who show they have promoted progressive thinking, equity in action and inclusive values from leadership through to everyday practice.

BDO’s Inclusion & Belonging strategy focuses on three core areas: inclusive and accountable leadership, equity in action, and a shared sense of belonging. Together with a clear governance model, BDO was able to demonstrate its tangible impact, breadth of initiatives and data-led insights to the judges.

Sarah Hillary, Partner sponsor for Inclusion & Belonging at BDO, says: “It makes me so proud that our progress in this space has been co-created with our people. Without their voices, insights and lived experiences to guide our decisions and shape our priorities as a business, we wouldn’t be able to take home this fantastic accolade.

“What made BDO a strong contender for Company of the Year was the combination of strategic clarity, governance excellence and meaningful, evidence-based action. Our achievements are interconnected steps designed to build a more inclusive, equitable and high-performing organisation.

“The progress we have made this year demonstrates that inclusion and belonging are business imperatives that define how we lead, how we support our people and how we deliver for our clients. As we look ahead, we will continue to listen, learn and evolve. Our journey shows that despite the external environment we are all living and operating in, it is possible to deliver real, meaningful change.”
