The Integrated Equality Scheme is the tool we have developed to help us promote equality and eliminate discrimination in the areas of gender, race and disability. As a UK public body we are legally required to promote equality in these areas, but because we are an international organisation our Integrated Equality Scheme applies worldwide, not just in the UK.

In order to make progress we have developed various policies and tools to help us reach our goals. For more information on them please visit the links below:
