Our diversity story so far


Our diversity journey 

 

At Morrison Low we have taken a pragmatic, people based and authentic approach to diversity and inclusion.  We have explored different ideas and created a programme that is suitable for a dynamic trans-Tasman firm.  

We require our programme to be meaningful and authentic and not a corporate tick box exercise. We know that diversity and inclusion is a continuous journey and so are constantly reviewing to ensure that we are upholding our values.

Our diversity and inclusion journey started in 2018 with Morrison Low’s Board adopting the policy.  The policy is now bedded into the Morrison Low way of doing business with the implementation of the programme.  Our updated policy adopted by our Board in November 2022 is here Diversity Policy
