Diversity at RPC:

People are at the heart of everything that we do. And that is critical to our success. We want every person at RPC to feel valued, respected and free to be themselves. And it makes business sense too – different backgrounds, different perspectives and different experiences all make us who we are and mean that we can offer the most innovative and diverse thinking to our clients. We’ve put into place a number of initiatives and development programmes to not only support our people as they progress through their careers, but to also ensure that our population is as reflective of society as possible. Internally, we have eight DEIB internal networks – we call them ‘Communities’ – focussed on gender, ethnicity, mental health, families, social mobility, LGBTQ+, belief and disability. Underpinning our DEIB networks is allies@RPC, our peer network committed to supporting colleagues and promoting the inclusive culture at the firm. You can find out more about our DEIB programme by looking at our Annual DEIB brochure here. 

We don’t continue to push our DEIB initiatives forward for marketing value. We do it because we believe it is the right way to work. That being said, we are always thrilled when our achievements are recognised because it tells us that we are moving the dial in the right direction. Some of our recent achievements that we are particularly proud of are (the below).
