Global Diversity and Inclusion Benchmarks are standards for organisations around the world which help determine strategy and measure progress in managing diversity and fostering inclusion.
The Centre for Global Inclusion, home of GDIB; aims to serve as a resource for research and education for individuals and organisations in their quest to improve diversity and inclusion practices around the world.
GDIB standards help create equitable and better functioning organisations, confronting racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression, cultivate trust, acceptance, physical and psychological safety, lead inclusively, respond with agility, and thrive through disruption, promote wellness and self-care as ingredients for lasting change and contribute to creating a sustainable world.
GDIB awards are a mechanism to recognise and encourage progressive organisations who use GDIB standards to align D&I with organisational policies for sustainable financial and social performance.
