Supporting diversity is the right thing to do, but it’s also the smart thing to do.
Nurturing a people-first, inclusive and diverse workplace creates an environment where everyone can thrive, supports innovation and results in more effective decision making. It ultimately helps us to provide our clients with the best possible service.
This is why Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) is a central theme and is at the core of our People Principles, driving how we work with our people and making sure we recruit and retain the best people.
We are proud of how far we’ve come on our D&I journey, but also recognise that we are not done yet, and continue to learn more and improve further.
Our Diversity and Inclusion Steering group is supported by our four thriving, people-led networks who work together to lead a whole range of initiatives and events – see our timeline above to pick out some of our key events.
The greatest measure of our success in this area is what we’re told by our people. We’re proud that our people feel that LCP is a warm, welcoming and supportive environment to work in.

2021 and beyond
Our core areas of focus for the next year include intersectionality and allyship, providing additional training, working closely with our recruitment team, and improving and expanding the diversity metrics we monitor across all diversity characteristics. This includes reflecting on and revising our expectations of what success and improvement look like. We plan to carry out another internal D&I survey later in 2021 which will inform our areas of focus moving forward. Our ongoing objectives include raising the profile of diversity and inclusion within LCP and across the industry, supporting and developing our Partner Champion campaign, increasing confidence engaging with issues in this space and challenging inappropriate and biased behaviour, and promoting improved representation and diversity at senior levels and across working groups.
