Diversity and Inclusion at C Space

We are committed to building a truly diverse, equitable and inclusive organization. In the summer of 2020, we closed our business for a day and spent time together reflecting on what this would take and how we can drive more urgent change in this area. We shared with our organization that:

- We have a responsibility to build a business where EVERY C Spacer can fulfill their potential and be themselves at work.

- We cannot fulfil our promise as a Customer agency if we do not better represent and understand the people our clients serve.

- We believe that we should contribute to building a fairer and more equitable society and break down the systems and structures that lead to racism and non-inclusive behavior.

We also communicated that:

- We have not made this enough of a priority in the past and that’s changing now.

- It is not enough to be neutral. We need to be intentional about breaking down systemic racism and non-inclusive practices in and outside of our organization.

- Change starts with us – as a business and individuals.

At C Space, we think about DEI in three ways:

- ME: Our biases and behavior as individuals

- WE: Our business systems, structures and culture

- WORK: How we work with clients & What we do for clients

We are committed to C Space better reflecting the communities and countries that we operate in and to hiring, developing and progressing diverse talent. We are proud of the progress we are making and know that there is still much to be done.

As of January 2021, 68% of our team is female. 61% of our senior teams (Director, VP or C-level) is female. 4 out of 6 of our Executive Team is female including the CEO, COO, Chief Client Officer and Chief Development Officer.

Currently, 24% of C Spacers across our team in the Americas identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous & People of Color). This has increased from 19% at the start of 2019. There is work for us to do to ensure that we diversify our most senior leadership teams and this will remain a focus over the coming years. We conduct a biannual pay and progression equity analysis which we publish for all C Spacers to review. This includes analysis (by race and gender) of salaries by role, tenure, progression rates and representation at different levels within the organization.

We have a peer-appointed DEI Board which works closely alongside the Leadership Team to set our agenda, and an active Allies Group of 70+ who are champions for change, and we regularly invite in speakers to inspire and educate our team.

We are on a journey, are making great progress and have much work still to do.
