Ethics and diversity
Diversity and inclusion is vital to delivering our social mission.
In recognition of its importance to the success of our organisation, inclusion is one of our five core values.
It’s an important part of our social contract with residents and stakeholders that the people in our organisation reflect the wider community.
Bringing together a diverse range of people also helps us perform to our best, whether delivering great services, investing in the quality of our homes, or realising our ambitions to build more to help solve the housing crisis.

We're proud of our inclusive culture and want to be a place where everyone can be themselves at work.
Our people can be confident that difference is not only accepted but celebrated at L&Q.
We're proactively anti-hate and all our people are recruited, trained and held to account on the basis that discrimination in any form is unacceptable.
We support our people to be good allies and represent and amplify the voices of minority groups in the organisation and wider community.
Building services and homes that meet the needs of our diverse resident community is at the heart of this work. The online resident community and the LGBT resident forum are crucial partners in helping us get this right.
We have three staff network groups run by people from across the organisation:
Inspire
our gender equality network
Kaleidoscope
our cultural diversity network
Spectrum
our LGBT+ network
In addition, we have a staff wellbeing programme, iMatter.
