CIWM recognises the value in a wide diversity of voices and viewpoints in all that we do, and that embracing this approach will ensure CIWM, and the wider sector, is even more successful.
CIWM is fully committed to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) through all of its operations and activities, and to educating and encouraging good practice in this area among members and throughout the resource and waste sector as a whole.
We also recognise that the workforce of the future will be a diverse one, and we want to reflect both our members and the communities we serve.

CIWM’s EDI Strategy
To achieve our goal of moving the world beyond waste, CIWM needs support from an inclusive community with diverse voices, knowledge, skills, and perspectives. With this in mind, CIWM has developed an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy as part of our mission to be open and inclusive to all, regardless of background, ability, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.
EDI is central to CIWM’s Corporate Social Responsibility commitments and values, as well as our aim to move the world beyond waste. To help begin our journey we established the EDI Working Group in 2021 with the aim of ensuring we provide equal opportunities and support within CIWM, our membership, and the sector as a whole. The Group has been instrumental in forming the strategy.
