BEQUAL diversity area

Verified inclusion of vulnerable groups.

BEQUAL can recognise eligible certification evidence demonstrating structured support for people facing social, economic or employment-related vulnerability.

What this area covers

Responsible inclusion beyond general commitments.

The evidence must identify the relevant groups, the barriers they face and the organisational measures designed to support sustainable participation.

1
Access to employment

Inclusive pathways, recruitment measures and partnerships that remove barriers to opportunity.

2
Support and development

Onboarding, training, mentoring or workplace support adapted to identified needs.

3
Responsible partnerships

Verified collaboration with competent social, employment or community organisations.

4
Impact evidence

Objectives and results showing that actions are implemented and monitored over time.

Eligible evidence

Independent verification is essential.

Eligible evidence may come from independent certification schemes or competent public frameworks whose audited scope clearly covers vulnerable groups.

Every supporting certificate is reviewed for issuer independence, current validity, organisational scope and clear relevance to the area claimed. Awards, memberships and self-declarations are not accepted as certification evidence.
