Activating Data & AI to Drive Business Value

Diversity, equity and inclusion.

At Valcon, we believe diversity drives better business. When people with different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives come together, we unlock new ideas, challenge assumptions and create stronger, more sustainable solutions – for our clients and for society.

Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are not standalone initiatives. They are woven into the way we work, the way we grow, and the way we succeed, together. But diversity alone is not enough. For diverse talent to truly thrive, an inclusive and equitable work environment is essential.

APPROACH

Our approach

We sit at the intersection of consulting, data and technology, industries that thrive on innovation. And innovation happens when people feel safe, supported and able to show up as themselves. 

That’s why we’re building a culture where inclusion is second nature – and where every colleague has the tools and opportunities to thrive. 

1

Inclusive recruitment

Removing bias from hiring and reaching out to diverse talent pipelines

2

Equal opportunities for growth

creating access to mentorship, development and leadership pathways for all.

3

Flexibility and balance

recognising that different life circumstances require different ways of working.

4

Safe and respectful workplaces

standing firm on zero tolerance for discrimination, exclusion or harassment.

5

Colleague communities

supporting grassroots networks that build belonging and celebrate difference.

COMMITMENT

Continuing our commitment

We’re proud of the steps we’ve taken, from increasing female leadership representation to improving cultural diversity across our European teams. But we’re not finished. We’re setting clear goals and holding ourselves accountable through data, transparency and collaboration.

WHERE WE WORK

Unity at Valcon

Unity at Valcon is our Group-wide initiative to strengthen culture, engagement, and connection across our business.

At its heart is a commitment to listen, inform, and care for our people — creating a more connected, informed, and valued community.

Unity is built around three pillars:

  • Valcon Informs: sharing clear communication on performance, milestones, and priorities.
  • Valcon Listens: using employee feedback to shape a better workplace for everyone.
  • Valcon Cares: focusing on inclusion, well-being, and social responsibility through local and Group-wide initiatives.

UNITY AT VALCON

Valcon Cares

Valcon Cares is our commitment to building a diverse, inclusive and responsible workplace where everyone feels valued and supported.

Over the past year, it has driven initiatives that champion equity, well-being, and positive impact across all our regions. At its core is our People Approach, designed to help every Valconeer reach their full potential through clear support for performance, development, and well-being.

Together, we’re building a more inclusive Valcon – one where everyone can thrive and make a difference.
