DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION TOOLKIT FOR SHIPPING

The Diversity and Inclusion Toolkit for Shipping provides descriptions and definitions; provides ways to assess the current needs of diverse communities and identify gaps in services, policies and practice; and makes suggestions on how to fill these gaps. 

The toolkit will help companies:

- Enhance existing diversity assessments and increase awareness of diversity issues and needs;

- Embed the principle of diversity throughout their service and influence strategic planning at all levels;

- Develop good practice;

- Meet legislative requirements;

- Assess current performance, to identify any barriers preventing progress and to provide advice and guidance on how to overcome these; and

- Enhance monitoring and data collection mechanisms to highlight the needs of different communities.
