Business culture needs to be both diverse and inclusive, but change won’t happen by itself – we need to take conscious action that is both deliberate and followed through. This action falls within six pillars of purpose: the foundations of Grant Thornton’s Blueprint for action.

1. Champion the business case
2. Know your diversity data
3. Identify and source talent
4. Open up development and advancement
5. Retain diverse employees 
6. create an inclusion culture
