Norton Rose Fulbright recognised in the UK’s Best Employers for Race

Global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright has been included in Best Employers for Race in the UK for the second consecutive year. The listing is published in partnership with the Prince’s Responsible Business Network. 

The listing identifies the best employers in the UK for race diversity and equality who have demonstrated faster movement towards truly inclusive workplaces where opportunities for recruitment and progression can be equally accessed by ethnic minorities. The list includes 69 public and private sector organisations which collectively represent the best employers for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people in the UK. Successful organisations were required to evidence leadership on race, inclusive workplace cultures and action in at least one of three areas - leadership, progression and recruitment. They also had to be able to demonstrate the impact of these policies on BAME employees. 

Farmida Bi, Chair of Europe, Middle East and Asia commented: 

“As a firm we remain committed to increasing ethnic diversity throughout the firm. We aim to have a balanced and proportionate representation of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals at all levels within the practice. Our clients and staff require us to keep making the changes needed to make this a reality.”  

Earlier this year the firm also signed the Race at Work Charter in collaboration with the UK Government. The program launched by Prime Minister Theresa May defines five practical steps for private sector businesses within the UK to drive forward race equality and tackle ethnic disparities in the workplace.
