We are pleased to announce the global launch of EDGE Certification, an internationally recognized standard for workplace diversity, equity and inclusion. As an approved certification body for EDGE Certification, we will help organizations worldwide to assess, improve and certify their commitment to gender and intersectional equity.

Gender and intersectional equity have become pivotal to modern business success, enhancing employee engagement, boosting trust among stakeholders and contributing to sustainable growth.

This certification assesses organizations across four key pillars: representation, pay equity, career flows and cultural inclusiveness. Through our EDGE Certification services, organizations can ensure their policies reflect a genuine commitment to creating inclusive workplaces.
