Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) committee

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) committee is made up of partners and staff from across the firm. Its task is to promote EDI within the firm, increasing awareness of the benefits of EDI for staff as well as our clients and driving the removal of barriers to this wherever possible.

Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce’s (TVCC) Mental Wellbeing Charter

B P Collins is committed to the TVCC’s Mental Wellbeing Charter. This Charter is a pledge of our commitment to build a positive mental wellbeing culture, which in turn tackles stigma and builds trust, ensuring that the right help is available to anyone seeking mental health support, wherever they are and whenever they need it.

Hear what our committee have to say

“Our EDI committee places a focus on equity, diversity and creating an inclusive environment for all staff. This not only benefits the staff but drives diversity of thought in an ever-changing business landscape. In my opinion this can only benefit our industry, our firm and our wider community. I founded the EDI Committee because in my opinion the legal industry in general can be archaic in its outlook to diversity with several groups underrepresented in the profession compared to other professions. More and more progress is being made but still barriers to entry may stem from lack of social mobility due to the cost of training or gaps in mobility once in the profession for diversity at leadership level amongst other reasons. B P Collins has always driven progress and setting up an EDI Committee ensures that progress continues to thrive.” – Camilla Haggith Khonje, Senior Associate, Private Client
