Introduction

At TechForGood UK, we believe that diversity, equity and inclusion are essential to building a business that is a genuine force for good. As a certified B Corporation and Social Enterprise, we are committed to creating a workplace where people of all genders, identities and backgrounds feel valued, respected and supported.

Our approach to gender equality is guided by our values of respect, integrity, collaboration and accountability. We know that diverse perspectives and lived experiences strengthen our decision-making, fuel innovation, and enable us to deliver better outcomes for our customers, partners and communities.
