The judges praised the IoH for its ‘outstanding work’ in establishing their first-ever Youth Council and launching its Diversity Shield campaign earlier this year.
Robert Richardson, chief executive of IoH, said: “I am so proud and overwhelmed for the Institute to be recognised by the CGI. To win the Diversity and Inclusion Initiative of the Year 2021 for the launch of the IoH’s first-ever Youth Council and the Diversity Shield initiative, part of our #imin campaign is a significant milestone in our history.
“With the recent launch of our IoH Future Forum, our work on diversity and inclusion has only just begun. The Institute will continue to lead the way in promoting our industry as the most inclusive it can be.
“This is a momentous time for the Institute, and I am delighted that this award further establishes the IoH as an inclusive, diverse and progressive, educational charity. Thank you to everyone who has supported this year.”
