Inclusion for Impact Council

We create real and sustainable impact on the inclusivity and diversity of the digital industry. We hold members accountable and inspire them to act.

About the council

We want a digital industry we can feel proud of – one that is as forward thinking in the way in deals with issues of inclusion and diversity as it is with technology. The BIMA Inclusion for Impact Council was established to ensure we lead the charge.

Whether challenging racism or sexual harassment, eliminating the gender pay bias, or creating positive workspaces where everyone feels valued, we’re working with organisations and individuals to make the digital industry a place we all want to work.
