Inclusion & Diversity
We’re committed to Inclusion & Diversity
Society is full of diverse peoples from different cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, abilities, gender identities and sexual orientations.
All are welcome at MSC and we actively include diversity strategies in our recruitment process to ensure that when our team grows we fill in missing perspectives.
Our diversity makes our company stronger and informs our interactions with our clients better, and a culture of equity and respect is actively encouraged in our offices.
Some of the initiatives we’re working on currently include:
- Engaging suppliers that are a social enterprise or B-corp
- Using recruitment strategies that eliminate bias in the interview process
- Engaging with and supporting causes and charities that support social justice and change
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land
In Australia we also acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land where our offices reside and pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and that collective effort is needed to dismantle remaining colonial structures and injustices that continue to occur against our First Nations people.
At MSC Group, we hope to be part of that process of healing and do not actively support or service any who are involved in harm to indigenous communities.
