The Construction Inclusion Coalition has welcomed bathroom and kitchen products manufacturer, Norcros, to the coalition as a Strategic Partner.
Norcros, which owns key bathroom and kitchen product brands in the UK including Triton, Merlyn and Grant Westfield, will be actively involved in shaping the direction of the Coalition, to make real tangible progress to improve equity, diversity and inclusion throughout the construction industry supply chain.
Norcros has undertaken a range of companywide initiatives to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace, including the establishing of a Women’s Leadership Forum as part of their commitment to give a stronger voice to females across the business.
As part of this continuing work Norcros has joined the Coalition and is taking on the Built on Better pledge which amongst other activity will see the group benchmark and measure their progress towards improving inclusion across its businesses.
Helene Roberts, managing director of Norcros plc in UK and Ireland:
“Norcros is delighted to join the Construction Inclusion Coalition. Inclusion isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a shared responsibility across our business and our sector. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, but we know there’s more to learn, and lasting change takes collective effort.
“By working and learning together, we can build momentum and create environments where everyone feels valued, supported and truly has the opportunity to be someone.”
CIC Chair, Angela Rushforth, adds: “Norcros is a fantastic example of a company whose people have decided to make a difference and take on the challenge of looking at ways to improve their own work environment for the benefit of others. The team at Norcros has already done so much, and it is fantastic to have them join the coalition, where they will be able to share ideas and resources with other members who are all working towards similar goals.”
The Coalition is calling on businesses across the construction industry – no matter how big or small – to join the Construction Inclusion Coalition and take the Built on Better pledge.
