Pathways Pledge

The Pathways Pledge is action-focused, not prescriptive.

The Pledge is a light touch, collaborative initiative where organisations implement their own actions, using the Pathways Report as the ‘manifesto’ for change. These actions are shared with other Pledgers and are tracked and reported over a 12 month period. The Pledge helps organisations consolidate their efforts to drive change through collective ownership, thus achieving a greater impact.

Some examples of a pledge could be...

Diversifying

investment and selection panels

Committing

to publishing and enhancing gender data

Increasing

female participation in programmes beyond existing policies

Amplifying

existing programmes to more locations

Interested in joining the Pledge?

We have a wide range of organisations from across the ecosystem aligned through the Pledge. By focusing on collaboration and measurable actions, they are able to enact real change. Importantly, their Pledge commitments complement the work they are already doing to drive inclusion and diversity. You can learn more about the benefits of collaboration through the Pledge from some of our current Pledge members in this video.

Who can become a Pledger?

Organisations from across the country, regardless of industry sector or size, can participate in the pledge. Being part of a large and aligned movement will amplify, accelerate, and improve outcomes. Pledgers underpin the Pathways strategy, and their combined work will have a louder voice and bigger impact.

Our focus is on consolidating efforts to drive change through action-led collaboration, with each organisation contributing its share to achieve a greater collective impact.
