Dear Chamber Member,

This week is Cork Pride Week, a week which encourages us all to consider how we can foster greater diversity, equality and inclusion in our workplaces. 

For Cork to grow and to thrive, our city region must be a genuinely warm and welcoming place of equal opportunity for people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities.

At Cork Chamber, we are committed to championing diversity in our team, in our governance, our operations and in advocacy, events and engagements. We are committed to UN SDG 5 Gender Equality and wish to push the wider diversity agenda forwards in parallel. We are pro diversity, and with equal vigour we are anti-racist and anti-discrimination.

This year, we have improved our own DEI policies and practices, while in parallel assisting our members on their DEI journeys. We are more committed than ever to inspiring change, and empowering and successful and inclusive membership. If you want to find out more about our work in this area please click <HERE>.

We are all on this journey together. We encourage each and every member to actively consider, plan and action a proactive approach to diversity, equality and inclusion in their business. We encourage you to speak with us about how best to evolve, deepen and quicken this agenda. We encourage you to consider the diversity of your company representation at our events and meetings, and to be proud of every small step that leads to a more equal Cork.

Warm regards,

Paula

Warm regards,
