Factors such as accessibility, diversifying supply chains, diverse marketing collateral and content, diverse team make up and championing DEI initiatives will be considered when applications are made.
Gabrielle Austen-Browne, co-founder, Diversity Ally, said: “December 2021 was a strange month to say the least. For most of us, our main focus was on not getting Omicron, seeing our families for Christmas, and at least making it to New Years Eve. So at Diversity Ally HQ, we thought it only fair to extend the entries to the awards to 24 January 2022, to give everyone a chance to settle into the New Year and some more time to complete their applications.”
She added: “If anyone needs more support we have a podcast and a webinar on how and who can apply for the awards. You can email Gabby and Ashanti on awards@diversityally.co.uk with any questions.”
The shortlist will also be revealed in February.
