Diversity and inclusion matters
Be yourself, Embrace differences, Lead with inclusion, Open your mind, Never stop learning, Grow with empathy.
We are really excited to introduce you to SCC Belong, our newly named Diversity & Inclusion group.
Our SCC Belong Groups
At SCC we really believe that encouraging an environment of inclusivity is important in driving our success. SCC Belong is our commitment to creating a workplace where every colleague feels valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work every. single. day.
We understand that diverse perspectives ultimately lead to better outcomes both personally and professionally. By embracing diversity, we can better serve our customers, support our communities, and create a more equitable environment for all colleagues.
We want everyone to join us on our mission to raise awareness and promote inclusivity so that everyone has a sense of belonging. Whether you’re passionate about advocating for marginalised groups, championing equality in the workplace, or simply keen to learn more, there is a place for you in SCC Belong.
We have six colleague-led individual groups, dedicated to supporting and advocating for specific communities within SCC. Each group plays an important role in encouraging a culture of inclusivity and belonging. We encourage our colleagues to explore these groups, participate in their events and initiatives, and lend their voice to the conversation.
