Inclusion and Diversity

"Diverse groups make better decisions and create a more enjoyable working environment. We lead with inclusion at Actis because we recognise it is the best way to attract and retain the best people. There is so much evidence that points to this and for Actis the benefit is clear - it is not only the right thing to do but it’s obvious that having multiple perspectives around the table ensures that every angle is covered in a discussion, that we don’t avoid the tricky subjects, that risks and scenarios are properly considered, that value creation is as creative as it can be and that Actis is an enjoyable, stimulating place to work.

Inclusion and Diversity are important to the people who work at Actis and within our portfolio today, important to the people we want to work with in the future and important to our investors. We are focused on ensuring that we improve representation at all levels and that our people feel proud of where they work, feel that they belong, feel that they’re valued and that they know there is the opportunity to realise their potential as part of Actis. We are applying this approach to the thousands employed throughout our portfolio and we are already witnessing how a thoughtful approach to inclusion and diversity efforts can be effectively amplified.

Inclusion and Diversity at Actis are a work in progress, but we’re not at a standing start and there is a huge amount of activity taking place. I’m delighted that this site captures some of that and provides an important platform to continue to celebrate success and share learnings as we continue the journey."
