About Us

The inspiration for establishing The Equal Group came from a desire to see meaningful change in relation to the way that companies adopt and embed equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within their organisations.

The Equal Group was created in 2018. In this time, we have already proven to be a sustainable, impactful company that has demonstrably been the catalyst for enduring EDI change in many organisations that we have worked with.

The Equal Group’s vision is to enable a business world without bias – this is why we were established, and this is what drives us to deliver day in, day out. Our core belief is that equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisations will be by far the most successful and sustainable.
