We're very proud and excited to share that our colleague Lisa Hulbert has been shortlisted in the Champion (Ally) category, at The Ethnicity Awards.

She is extremely dedicated, continually organising cultural events and showing commitment and a can-do attitude to the next project that will help raise awareness.   The Champion (Ally) award looks for nominees who are non-ethnic minority allies that are committed to passionately promoting equality, speaking out against Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic discrimination and using their position of privilege to actively support and participate as an ally. Well deserved Lisa, good luck! #EDI #ChampionAlly #EthnicityAwards24 #Diversity #Inclusion

🌟 It has been fantastic to mark South Asian Heritage month over the past few weeks and learn more about our diverse communities. This month seeks to elevate the prominence of British South Asian history and heritage in the UK through education, arts, culture, celebration and commemoration. 🙌 Through Embrace, our employee community to promote awareness and inclusivity for all faiths and cultures, colleagues hosted food festivals in our networks to raise money for the South Asian Heritage Trust – what better way to bring people together! Traditional attire was celebrated, delicious food was shared, beautiful henna was designed, and most importantly, it gave the opportunity for colleagues to learn more about the rich history of South Asia. #FreetoBeMe #SouthAsianHeritageMonth #Embrace #DiversityandInclusion

It is feared that carbon monoxide kills seven times more people each year in the UK than is currently reported. This is a terrifying statistic that we are trying to address through our groundbreaking, multi-industry project, the Carbon Monoxide Partner Ecosystem (COPE), created with Sia Partners.   COPE is revolutionising the way we collect, store and analyse CO data. Currently industries, including Gas Distribution Networks, the Fire & Rescue Services and NHS capture their CO information independently, but through COPE we are centralising the data to enable more thorough results.   Hosted through the Carbon Monoxide Research and Analytics platform (CORA), this tool is helping us fill in gaps in our CO knowledge and is already creating a buzz in industries relating to carbon monoxide. Watch the video to learn more about its importance.   Kate Ravenscroft, Emily Orlik, Isabella Myers, Philip Burrows, Nicola Campbell, Amanda Jones, Adrian McConnell, London Fire Brigade, Apollo G., National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC), SGN, Dan Edwards, Northern Gas Networks, Wales & West Utilities, Roland Wessling, IGEM - Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers, Ian McCluskey CEng FIMechE FIGEM, CoGDEM, paul decort, Paulette Samuels, Hiba Alaraj, Xavier Bébin, Omar Clarke, Aby Handler, Olivia Tomalin,Sandy Jones

Thanks to the hard work of our very own Procurement colleague, Maryam Master, we offer an inclusive Fire-Retardant Hijab available to order. Maryam was part of a team of Commercial Trainees and Graduates tasked with a project to raise awareness of hard hat safety in their first few weeks. During the first week of the project, it was brought to the team's attention that we didn't have a Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) option for Hijab wearers, so Maryam and the team set about creating a solution, in collaboration with Protective Wear Supplies Ltd Maryam said: "It is so important that as a company we are inclusive and accessible to all." "We are also currently working on creating an inclusive PPE turban alternative and have just moved into the testing phase to ensure we find the best material to use. So, watch this space for an announcement on the finished product soon!” For more information about the development of the FR hijab, visit https://lnkd.in/eC57K-5S #Diversity #InclusivePPE #FRHijab
