Our EDI toolkit helps Social Investment Teams level up their equity, diversity and inclusion. First by highlighting EDI actions taken by your organisation, then by helping you choose and prioritise actionable improvements to demonstrate your ongoing commitment to EDI.

The benefits of taking part include:

  • An EDI self-assessment tool built on a base of strong academic evidence

  • Designed with social investors for social investors

  • EDI best practice condensed into 4 steps to use your time effectively

  • Move quickly from EDI Assessment to EDI Action - helping you make real and achievable changes with clear deadlines and accountability

  • Aligns with Diversity Forum’s annual reporting cycle

  • Join in with a collective of peers on a mission to drive inclusive social investment in the UK

We have created an EDI self-assessment tool and an EDI toolkit guide to help your organisation’s nominated EDI lead bring your social investment organisation through a 4-step process.

Thank you to all of the organisations involved in building the original version of the EDI Tool for Social Entrepreneurs including Big Issue Invest, UnLtd and the Growth Impact Fund. A big thank you to the team at Shift Design for their collaboration in building this version for social investors.
