Our Partners | Spirax Group

Making our difference, together

Creating more inclusive workplaces and communities is a team effort.

To help us to progress our inclusion journey, we work in partnership with a range of global and local organisations.

Collaboration like this helps us to learn and holds us to account.

It also enables us to share our successes and challenges with other partners, so that we can collectively make a bigger difference together.

Change the Race Ratio

As one of the first 100 signatories to the Change the Race Ratio campaign, and now members of the campaign’s Steering Committee, we are proud supporters of its goal to accelerate race equity in leadership, and in business more widely. In support of the campaign, we have set ethnicity diversity goals for our Board, Group Executive Committee and senior leadership, as well as our UK and US graduate programmes. We have also begun conversations and action planning on race equity across our operations in the USA and are working to develop ethnicity pay gap reporting in the UK, US and South Africa.
