Equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) are three closely linked values that enable us to support the needs of different groups of people. In this podcast (the first in a series of two) we celebrate the launch of the SHRA’s new ‘EDI in retrofit’ toolkit by exploring why embedding EDI within housing retrofit is so vital. Our host Sarah Daly leads a discussion with James Olujohungbe (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) and Anusha Shanmuganantha (Turner & Townsend) around what EDI means to them, the risks of not engaging with everyone fairly, and how diverse workplaces can bring significant benefits. This podcast is an informal discussion between interested parties associated with the Social Housing Retrofit Accelerator. Any views expressed are those of the individuals concerned and do not seek to represent the government.
