The diversity profession has evolved organically as a subset of Human Resources over the past two decades. However, it currently lacks formal qualifications for practitioners. The Global Diversity List (GDL), established in 2015, was created to address this critical gap in the field.
There is no universal, independent standard to measure an organization's performance in delivering diversity initiatives on a global scale.
The GDL has become the global benchmark for excellence in diversity. Organizations aiming to establish themselves as credible leaders in diversity must seek accreditation through the Global Diversity List.
As part of this recognition, a Global Diversity kite mark will be awarded to honourees, which can be proudly displayed on websites, emails, and social media platforms.
OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION
Equality, diversity and inclusion are concepts which are fast becoming part of mainstream thinking – but despite great strides which have been made in recent years, there’s still a long way to go. We believe that by both promoting these core values, and acknowledging those individuals who go the extra mile to ensure a fair playing field for all, we can help advance the diversity agenda so that all members of the community feel they each have an equal stake in wider society.
