Vision 2030 is our invitation to the industry to imagine what we could achieve if we accelerate progress towards a fully inclusive and diverse industry and the success that would drive. The Sustainable Development Agenda, adopted by UN Member States (including the UK) in 2015, set a 2030 deadline for the achievement of gender equality.  This is the deadline we need to meet to give ourselves the best possible chance of achieving our 2050 Net Zero targets.

​

Our Vision 2030 series includes a series of blogs from a range of industry voices and a strategy of how our industry can deliver Vision 2030.

 

VISION 2030 STRATEGY: THE WAY FORWARD
 

1. Join the AXIS Pledge: Commit to attracting, retaining and developing a diverse workforce.

    

2. Leadership Commitment: Drive an inclusive culture with a clear understanding of the benefits of gender equity, diverse decision making and the business culture. Inclusion is valued as a core leadership trait with value placed on nurturing business cultures in which diversity thrives.

    

3. Transparent Promotions and Career Development Models: Tackle hidden or underlying systemic bias; ensure that they are applied fairly across the whole organisation.

    

4. Sponsor Women and Men Equally: Promote the skills of a diverse range of individuals for consideration in new opportunities.

    

5. Flexible Working for All: Regardless of who or what the flexibility is wanted for; recognise the value that engaged staff bring to the industry.

    

6. Equal Parenting Policies: Bring paternity leave policies in line with maternity leave policies and encourage uptake.

    

7. Return-ships: Encourage and facilitate those that have left the industry for caring responsibilities, ill health or other reasons, to return.
