The aim of Engine Shed’s Community Partnership is to support diverse networks to access mainstream business.
Why?
Because we recognise that companies with more culturally and ethnically diverse executive teams are 33% more likely to see better-than-average profits, and companies in the top 25th percentile for gender diversity on their executive teams are 21% more likely to experience above-average profits. (McKinsey Report 2018).
Large corporates looking to improve diversity can become a Community Partner; we will connect you with a community partner/s in the region to work together, which at the same time enables the community partner to access a space that they would otherwise not normally get access to.
