- embed and empower our Inclusion Networks to support our global strategic objectives
- have quality diversity data that accurately represents our workforce
- embed inclusive role modelling and accountability across our leadership
- achieve progress towards our aspirational milestones
- be better recognised by our people and clients as an inclusion leader in the offshore market
