Social Justice & Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Our approach is driven by the values we share across the consortium and aim to promote through our work. This approach is embedded into our guiding principles and EDI strategy:

Guiding principles

1. Championing transdisciplinarity: We respect each other’s expertise and welcome opinions that challenge us. We actively experiment to learn how to work better
2. Evidence-based: We recognise what science does and does not tell us, and are robust in communicating what is known, the level of confidence, and the knowledge gaps
3. Practical application: We support tangible, on-the ground change. We are pragmatic, in deploying systems thinking. We will co-develop new options with diverse stakeholders
4. Walking the talk: We pursue low carbon options, actively support high standard initiatives, and appraise how our activities inspire inclusivity and environmental care
5. Celebrating achievements: We will maintain a positive, can-do attitude, celebrating achievements of colleagues, stakeholders and communities in their transitions to Net Zero

EDI strategy

• We go beyond standard EDI measures to champion social justice and celebrate diversity in LUNZ, its communication, and internal Hub critiques of the evidence we present
• Embedded EDI measures are augmented by a dedicated EDI and Social Justice TAG
• We support the ‘Technician’s Commitment’ with a dedicated mechanism for support staff development
