Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Nuvia UK will take all reasonable steps to employ, train and promote employees based on their experience, abilities and qualifications without regard to age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race (including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins and caste), religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation (known as the “protected characteristics”). We, therefore, positively encourage applications from all suitably qualified and eligible job applicants.

We also have a number of supporting HR policies which support our ED&I ethos of treating all with dignity & respect. We are very supportive of flexible working within Nuvia and have a number of Enhanced Family Friendly policies.

NUVIA UK believe that our people will be most engaged when they work in an environment that is inclusive, free from bias with equal opportunities for all. Our goal is to ensure that equality, diversity and inclusion is embedded in our culture, and reflected in our people demonstrable through our behaviours. This goal applies to all job applicants, employees, agency staff and contractors within Nuvia UK.

NUVIA UK’s guiding ED&I principles are to:

• prevent discrimination, eliminate prejudice, promote inclusion and celebrate diversity.
• be fair in our dealings with all people.
• understand and appreciate the diverse nature of different cultural backgrounds.
• ensure equality, diversity and inclusion is embedded in everything we do.

To achieve a diverse and inclusive culture, we embrace an environment where every individual has the right to equal treatment and equality of opportunity regardless of any ‘protected characteristic’ as defined under the Equality Act 2010.

Our Group Company (Vinci) have ED&I at the forefront of their actions:

Ensuring equal opportunities for all

VINCI upholds the principle of prohibiting discrimination on any grounds in hiring and labour relations. Human resource administration and, more broadly, employee relations are based on the principles of mutual trust and respect to ensure that everyone is treated with dignity.

Above and beyond their role in fostering upward mobility, Group companies apply a proactive equal opportunities management policy focused in particular on gender equality and employment of the disabled, people of diverse background and seniors. They request regular audits of their practice to better guide their

improvement efforts. VINCI’s top managers encourage the implementation of this policy and ensure that these principles are applied by the entire management chain.

Respect for people

The VINCI Group applies an equitable human resources policy which complies with applicable laws and is respectful of people’s rights and individual and collective freedoms.

The VINCI Group prohibits all discrimination based on illegal grounds such as gender, age, ways of life, actual or supposed membership of a specific ethnic group or nation, health status, disability, religion, political opinions or trade union activities.

All pressure, prosecution or persecution of a moral, sexual, or other unlawful nature is prohibited.
