Egis is delighted to join the Big Rail Diversity Challenge 2023, the only all-inclusive event in the UK rail industry calendar that brings together a cross section of our sectors workforce and showcases the amazing diversity fostered by our industry. As a truly equal, diverse and inclusive organisation, Egis is committed to advocating gender balance and workforce diversity throughout all grades and roles. Our UK rail business unit was one of the first signatories of the Women in Rail and The Railway Industry Association joint EDI Charter. We have a solid UK EDI strategy which is in line with the core values advocated by the Charter and is implemented through EDI Action Plans. One of the many initiatives undertaken by Egis to promote EDI, was the setting-up of Egis EDI Focus team which is very active in the promotion of fairness, inclusion, and respect throughout the business, and making the leadership team responsible and accountable for driving the EDI agenda throughout all grades and roles in Egis.
