We are proud to announce that VOR was invited to jointly sign the Bristol Equality Charter, alongside representatives from Bristol City Leap, as one of their key supply chain partners. This event marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to fostering Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) within our workplace and across the broader Bristol community.
Our Lead Designer, Phil Partridge, and Director, Craig Madders, represented VOR at this important event, standing alongside other local organisations dedicated to creating a more inclusive and welcoming city for all.
What is the Bristol Equality Charter?
The Bristol Equality Charter is a city-wide initiative that brings together businesses, institutions, and organisations to work towards shared goals of inclusion, diversity, and equality. By signing the charter, VOR is reinforcing our dedication to making a tangible, positive impact in these areas, helping to shape a Bristol where everyone feels valued and supported.
Our Commitment to Change
Signing the charter represents our commitment to embedding EDI principles into the core of how we operate. As part of this initiative, VOR is committed to:
- 🤍 Making Bristol a welcoming city where everyone feels they belong.
- 💡 Inspiring trust and confidence in what the city offers to residents, workers, and visitors alike.
- 🎉 Valuing and celebrating diversity, ensuring that different backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives are respected.
- 🤝 Building positive relationships through mutual understanding and collaboration.
- 🌍 Promoting inclusion, participation, and equal access to opportunities for all.
- 🛑 Challenging discrimination, harassment, and hate crime wherever it may arise.
Why This Matters to VOR
At VOR, we believe that fostering a culture of inclusion and diversity is not only essential for our business but for the wider community. We recognise that the strength of our team and the projects we deliver comes from diverse perspectives and experiences. This ethos extends beyond our workplace and into the communities we serve, ensuring that our projects contribute to a fairer and more inclusive society.
Looking Ahead: A Collective Effort for a More Equal Bristol
We are excited to join other organisations in promoting these shared values, and we’re committed to actively contributing to this vision for Bristol’s future. Through the Bristol Equality Charter, we are working together to challenge inequalities, build understanding, and create opportunities for all members of our community.
Our involvement in this city-wide initiative is just one of the ways VOR is dedicated to making a difference.
