Diverse teams think differently. When it comes to risk, that’s important.
Raise the bar across your recruitment process, by selecting from a range of diversity recruitment features to facilitate more inclusive teams.
The reality is that for many businesses, diversity is still a nice to have not a strategic imperative. Cedar are proud to be different and love to work with organisations that share our passion.
Cedar embraces diversity and inclusion and seeks to promote the benefits in all of our business activities and has developed a business culture that reflects that belief. We continuously strive to level the playing field for executive and non-executive talent, finding opportunities for women, ethnic minority, and LGBT+ candidates.
Each and every Cedar employee commits to making a positive contribution towards diversity and inclusion not only in our own working environment but those of the organisations we work with.
Our Accreditations
At Cedar, we are committed to ensuring that our DE&I profile is market-leading. With this in mind, we have subscribed to several organisations to benchmark our performance against competitors and other businesses to ensure our diversity and inclusion policy is best in class.

Social Mobility Pledge
The power of change McKinsey's latest report ``Diversity Matters Even More`` shows companies with diverse leadership teams perform better financially and achieve higher social and environmental impact scores. Those in the top quartile for gender and ethnic diversity on executive teams are 39% more likely to outperform financially. Integrating diversity, equity, and inclusion into business strategies is crucial for fostering inclusive cultures, enhancing employee satisfaction, and achieving sustainable growth.
Building High-Performing, Diverse Teams for Competitive Advantage
Diversity and inclusion is central to an organisation’s ability to attract, recruit and retain the talent needed to outperform competitors. Diverse groups make better, faster decisions with less bias and groupthink, and diverse groups are more creative and innovative. So if we believe that diverse teams make better, more considered decisions, our role is clear: to bring businesses and talented individuals together to build those high-performing, fantastically diverse senior teams.
DE&I Policy
Individuals with different cultures, perspectives and experiences are at the heart of the way we work. We want to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people, regardless of their background and make best use of their talents. At Cedar we recognise that being a diverse and inclusive employer helps us fulfil our responsibility to make a difference for candidates and clients. To achieve this we are guided by our values as laid out in our DE&I Policy.
Female Leaders – Procurement & Supply Chain
The shortage of female leaders across the discipline is something we at Cedar are frequently questioned about with many of our clients seeking opinions as to why this occurs and how they can beat their competitors to attract the best talent. For this reason, we have interviewed four senior female leaders to gain their views on the subject, we hope you find it insightful.
