Bailey Partnership Joins RIBA Inclusion Pledge

Kel Chiong

Bailey Partnership is proud to announce our commitment to the RIBA Inclusion Pledge, reinforcing our dedication to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within architecture and the broader construction industry.

The RIBA Inclusion Pledge addresses the urgent need for greater inclusivity and transparency across the profession. By signing, we have committed to:
Setting clear inclusion targets and an actionable EDI plan.

Fostering a workplace culture that supports diverse talent pipelines and inclusive ways of working.

Publicly reporting on EDI progress to drive accountability and meaningful change.
Embedding inclusive design into every project and contributing to the creation of accessible environments.

At Bailey Partnership, we believe in dismantling barriers that prevent talented individuals from entering, practising, or appreciating architecture. Through this pledge, we join a community of equality champions united in the goal of creating a more inclusive industry.

Our Executive Architecture Directors, Giles Blight and Mike Fisher commented:
“Bailey Partnership has always been an inclusive employer, proudly boasting a diverse team with staff from across the world. By signing the RIBA Inclusion Pledge, we reaffirm our commitment to inclusivity and encourage our peers to do the same, striving to make architecture and construction among the most welcoming and inclusive sectors to work in.”

Our Inclusion and Diversity action plan not only focuses on changing the profile of the profession but also on valuing and using our differences to create a stronger, more competitive advantage.

We encourage our staff, peers, and the wider industry to reflect on how they can drive this change—whether by supporting colleagues during significant life changes, engaging in active listening, or addressing systemic gaps in representation.

By embracing the principles of the RIBA Inclusion Pledge, Bailey Partnership is working to ensure that the architecture and construction industries are places where everyone can thrive.
