The GoodCorporation Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Framework is a set of responsible management practices that demonstrate a results-driven approach to DEI. By following the practices outlined in the Framework, organisations can demonstrate their commitment to promoting DEI throughout their operations and ensure that their expectations for DEI are communicated to all stakeholders.

Our framework can be used to design, embed or evaluate an organisation’s approach to DEI and/or its approach towards one or more specific protected characteristics. Characteristics typically protected by law include: sex, race, colour, ethnic or social origin, genetic features, language, religion or belief, political or any other opinion, membership of a national minority, property, birth, disability, age and sexual orientation.

Organisations can use this framework internally as a checklist for the development of best practice or as the basis of an external review by GoodCorporation. Such reviews can be used as a foundation for a gap analysis, as means of tracking improvement over time, providing reporting metrics and independently verified evidence of progress and performance.
