INCLUSION & DIVERSITY

What does inclusion mean to us? Understanding the potential every person at BKL has to make a difference; helping them change things for the better.
We empower every team member to find their place and identify opportunities where they can help to move our firm forward. When different groups with different skills explore different challenges, our team grows and so does our business – which means our clients benefit as well.

One way to improve inclusion is to understand exclusion: the biases and preconceptions that stop us from knowing and appreciating each other.
Our team explored this in our video for National Inclusion Week 2020.
What does diversity mean to us?

It may be represented by people, but it develops through their experiences and ideas. That’s why we welcome difference and work hard to include the distinct experiences and expertise that each person brings to BKL.
BKL is proud of its inclusive culture and of its people’s diversity. We recognise that there is work needed to widen the diversity of our partners and more senior levels so that the firm and our culture can benefit from a wider range of perspectives and innovation.

BKL has achieved a ‘Committed to Inclusion’ accreditation through Inclusive Employers. We invested in an inclusion programme for our partners, as well as unconscious bias training for everyone at BKL.

In achieving B Corp certification in 2022, we were proud to earn an Impact Business Model during the assessment process in recognition of our focus on developing our employees. An IBM is a rare achievement among B Corps.
