Diversity and Inclusion Policy
Façade Creations
1. Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
At Façade Creations, we are dedicated to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. As a vertically integrated consultancy specializing in external building façades, we recognize that diversity in perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds drives innovation, enhances collaboration, and strengthens our ability to deliver exceptional solutions across transport hubs, education, residential, commercial, and public buildings. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion (D&I) reflects the communities we serve and aligns with our core values of integrity, excellence, and innovation.
We aim to create an environment where all colleagues, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, religion, neurodiversity, or any other characteristic, are provided equal opportunities to thrive. This commitment extends to our supply chain, partners, and the broader communities we engage with across the UK, particularly in the Midlands and London.
2. Our Approach to Diversity and Inclusion
Our D&I strategy is built on four key pillars:
• Inclusive Leadership and Culture
We lead by example, fostering a culture where inclusive behaviours are championed at all levels, from our design teams to site installers. Our leadership is committed to promoting diversity in decision-making, ensuring representation across our workforce, and embedding inclusive practices in all aspects of our operations.
• Diverse Talent and Opportunities
We strive to attract, retain, and develop a diverse workforce that reflects the communities we serve. By implementing fair and transparent recruitment processes, providing career development opportunities, and chasing underrepresented groups, we ensure equal access to opportunities across all roles, from design and procurement to fabrication and installation.
• Colleague Engagement and Support
We empower our colleagues through open communication, supportive networks, and resources that promote wellbeing. Our colleague networks provide safe spaces for discussion, collaboration, and feedback, enabling us to address barriers and amplify diverse voices. • Community and Supplier Engagement We are committed to working with diverse suppliers and supporting local communities. By partnering with minority-owned businesses and social enterprises, we aim to create opportunities that reflect the diversity of the regions we operate in, particularly in Leicestershire, the Midlands, and London.
3 Our Actions and Initiatives
To bring our D&I commitment to life, we are implementing the following initiatives:
• Inclusive Recruitment and Career Development
We use equitable hiring practices, including diversity-focused recruitment guides and partnerships with organizations that support underrepresented groups. Our training programs 1 promote career progression for all colleagues, with a focus on increasing representation in leadership roles.
• Colleague Networks
We have established networks to support diverse groups, including:
– Equality in Design: A network promoting inclusivity for colleagues of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds in our design and engineering teams.
– Pride in Creations: A network fostering a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ colleagues. – Women in Façades: A gender equality network to empower women in technical and leadership roles.
– Access for All: A network raising awareness of disability and neurodiversity, ensuring accessibility in our workplace and project designs.
• Mental Health and Wellbeing
We prioritize colleague wellbeing through our “Wellness at Work” program, offering resources such as mental health support, access to counselling via our Employee Assistance Program, and tools like our internal Façade Creations app, which provides 24/7 access to wellbeing resources, benefits, and company updates.
• Supplier Diversity
We actively engage with minority-owned and social enterprise suppliers to ensure our supply chain reflects our commitment to diversity.
• Community Impact
Through our Façade Futures initiative, we support local communities by offering apprenticeships, work placements, and skills development programs for young people, long-term unemployed individuals, and underrepresented groups. We aim to break down barriers to employment and create pathways into the construction and façade industry.
5. Listening, Learning, and Acting
We are committed to continuous improvement by listening to our colleagues, partners, and communities. Through regular surveys, focus groups, and leader-led listening sessions, we gather feedback to refine our D&I policies and practices.
