Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

 

At Harcourt Michaels, we have an important role to play in helping our clients build diverse leadership teams.

We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and promoting a culture that actively values difference and recognises that people from different backgrounds and experiences can bring valuable insights to the workplace and enhance the way we work.

We take practical steps to make this happen. In every search, we look beyond the obvious networks. We actively seek out candidates from a wide range of backgrounds and make sure our shortlists reflect that.

We also share insights with our clients throughout the process, helping them make confident, inclusive choices. We want everyone we work with to feel respected, heard and valued.

When leadership reflects the world around us, organisations thrive.

Sustainability

Sustainability is part of how we think about leadership and the future.

We work with senior leaders across the built environment—people shaping cities, infrastructure, and communities. More and more, they’re asking how to lead in ways that respect the planet and the people on it. We’re proud to support that shift.

In our search assignments, we look for candidates who understand the importance of sustainable thinking—whether that’s low-carbon design, circular construction, or long-term planning. We help our clients build leadership teams that take responsibility for the impact they make.

We have calculated our current carbon footprint and have created science-based carbon targets for reducing our carbon emissions. We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint, promoting sustainable resource use, and partnering with suppliers who share our values.

We help build leadership teams that lead with vision, responsibility, and respect for the planet.
