The Race at Work Charter is an initiative designed for businesses to collectively commit to improving equal opportunities for Black, Asian, Mixed Race and ethnically diverse employees in the UK. 

The Race at Work Charter calls on businesses to: 

• Appoint an Executive Sponsor for race 
• Capture data and publicising progress 
• Ensure zero tolerance of harassment and bullying 
• Make equality in the workplace the responsibility of all leaders and managers 
• Take action that supports ethnic minority career progression 
• Support race inclusion allies in the workplace 
• Include Black, Asian, Mixed Race and other ethnically diverse-led enterprise owners in supply chains 

Alex Spragg, Group Head of Responsible Business at Sureserve, said: “The Group's commitment to ensuring all our people have equal and meaningful access to careers and professional development extends across our businesses, and is supported at the very top. We are an employer working in communities across the UK, and with the help of initiatives such as the Race at Work Charter, we can make sure our clients, customers and colleagues experience fair and inclusive treatment through the way we work.”

Sandra Kerr CBE, Race Director at Business in the Community, said: “We would like to thank the Sureserve Group for publicly committing to be an inclusive and responsible employer. By signing up to the charter, they are joining over 800 businesses who are working together so that the UK can have one of the most inclusive workplaces in the world. By taking collective action, we can break down workplace barriers, raise the aspirations and achievements of talented individuals regardless of their ethnicity and deliver an enormous boost to the long-term economic position of the UK.”
