We incorporate equality into our core objectives, making every effort to eliminate discrimination, create equal opportunities and develop good working relationships within all industry sectors and the commercial world. We want to be an organisation where people “get the message” that diversity and inclusion are an essential and embedded part of our business strategy.
EQUALITY & DIVERSITY /
Equality, diversity and inclusion, is about valuing our members, at all levels, and supporting industry wherever they work and whatever they do. We understand that diversity is about the numbers of different groups represented in industry sharing the mission of dispute avoidance and resolution, while inclusion is about making those numbers count in delivering our vision.

Three things wrong with Cambridge University’s statement on diversity
"Prime Dispute and its members are driving the force to ask the questions both of established economies and emerging markets and support industry in recognising what equality and diversity can bring in dispute avoidance/resolution. There is a greater general acceptance of equality and diversity within industry and a gradual breakdown of what were once a taboo subject, but more can be achieved in our lifetime. As we develop our corporate agendas on 'Equality and Diversity' we shall be factoring in the following factors: 

  • to assess the status of equality and diversity in industry and the dispute avoidance/resolution profession;
  • to highlight whether there are barriers that prevent our members from full participation in dispute avoidance and resolution; 
  • to develop positive and proactive initiatives to increase diversity participation within industry; 
  • to work and support diversity and equality networking groups in industry and the dispute avoidance and resolution profession;
  • to develop mentoring training courses regarding diversity and equality for all sectors".
