Equality is a valuable asset to every business. C2E believes that Good Equality Working Practices are at the heart of a fair and equal society.

With equal emphasis on equality standard delivery and as a lobbying organisation, C2E has earned the respect and support of leading academics, business and government leaders, primary influencers, agencies, associations and organisations, forging excellent links and strategic alliances in the UK and Europe.

Our aim is quite simple - to support and assist businesses to embed good equality practice into their organisations, by means of achieving an accredited equality standard, and by monitoring their actions as they strive for continuous improvement. The proven benefits to business the individual and to the community are manifold, and as the Standard evolves in line with legislative changes, clients are assured of the most recent and relevant equality - related business advice.

Equality is important to current and prospective employees, suppliers and customers; it is particularly significant to Public Bodies, who are aware that suppliers with proven good equality practices are important to them.

The achievement of the C2E Diversity Assured Equality Standard verifies that an organisation's equality practices comply with public sector contractual and statutory duties.
