Our Guiding Principles

The Guiding Principles set out what the #ChangeTheFace Alliance aims to achieve going forward and indicate areas for collaboration in the future. Our Guiding Principles are made up of 4 stakeholder groups: Colleagues, Customers, Co-Partners and Community.

They dive into what changes need to happen to ensure diversity and inclusion are being improved in those groups and outline best practice examples to support other organisations in the tech industry that are wanting to contribute to the #ChangeTheFace initiative. This is a collective piece which outlines our intention to drive the changes which are not happening quick enough. You can also download these here.
