The European Diversity Awards recognise achievement across all strands of diversity: race, age, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity and belief.

Launched in 2010, the European Diversity Awards are now firmly established as the continent’s most prestigious and widely respected diversity event. 

Attended by leading lights from business, politics and the media, the EDA recognises those individuals and organisations whose outstanding leadership has made a genuine difference to the equality, diversity and inclusion agenda.

Linda Riley, European Diversity Awards founder, said: ‘These awards exist to shine a light on those who have worked tirelessly to champion diversity and inclusion during what has been an extremely challenging year, particularly with the cost-of-living crisis and spiralling food and fuel costs.

‘Every deserving winner has made real achievements in race, age, sexual orientation, disability, gender identity or religious belief over the past year. 

‘The corporations and business leaders who picked up awards are dynamic and reflect the huge efforts corporate organisations are now making to improve diversity and inclusion. We should never forget how far we’ve come but there is still so much more to do.’

Award: Dawn Airey received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Krishnan Guru-Murthy
