EDI Toolkit for Social Investors

Empower Your Social Investment Journey: Introducing the EDI Toolkit for Social Investors

Building on our EDI toolkit for social entrepreneurs, our friends over at Diversity Forum have created an EDI toolkit for social investors. The toolkit includes an EDI self-assessment tool and an EDI toolkit guide.

It’s designed to help Social Investment Teams level up their equity, diversity and inclusion. First by highlighting current good EDI practice, then by helping you choose and prioritise actionable improvements to demonstrate your ongoing commitment to EDI.

The benefits of taking part include:

  • Designed by Diversity Forum with social investors - for social investors
  • An EDI self-assessment tool built on a base of strong academic evidence
  • EDI best practice condensed into four steps to use your time effectively
  • Move quickly from EDI Assessment to EDI Action - helping you make real and achievable changes with clear deadlines and accountability
  • Fits in with Diversity Forum’s annual reporting cycle
  • Join in with a collective of peers on a mission to drive inclusive social investment in the UK
