The charter aims to “drive forward the cultural and systemic changes needed if institutions are to remain competitive and attractive to talented staff and potential students in a global market.” SBBS currently holds an Athena SWAN Silver award.

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (EDIC), alongside the leadership team at SBBS is responsible for delivering on the SBBS Athena Swan Action Plan 2019-2025 [DOC 122KB] and promoting workplace inclusion to ensure that no one feels left out because of their age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, or other factors such as social background.
