AtkinsRéalis achieves EDI accreditation 

AtkinsRéalis has achieved the Clear Assured Platinum Standard accreditation – awarded by The Clear Company following an evidence-based assessment.

The accreditation is given to organisations that include diverse talent in every aspect of their operational performance and have leaders who proactively challenge themselves and their teams to be more inclusive.

There are 450 organisations in the Clear Assured community, around 280 of which have been assessed. AtkinsRéalis is one of just three to achieve the Platinum Standard, after receiving Gold in 2021. 

The Platinum accreditation was awarded based on the company’s progress and impact with EDI initiatives across several areas, including allyship, industry impact, inclusive recruitment and inclusive policies and procedures.

Richard Robinson, AtkinsRéalis president – UK and Ireland, said: “Our Clear Assured Platinum accreditation reflects the progress we have made with our EDI initiatives in recent years, through more inclusive policies and using our voice to effect change in the industry.

“Developing EDI across the engineering sector is vital to diversity of thought and there is always more we can do to improve our culture and that of the wider industry.”

Robinson added: “We will use the Platinum Standard to continue to positively influence our people, clients and other organisations, to ensure our sector is an attractive, inclusive and progressive place to build a rewarding career for everyone. 

“We have firm foundations in place with an established strategy that weaves EDI into everything we do.”
