"We are very proud to have gone through the 5 Star Includability Verification Process . We have always been committed to promoting and enabling a positive culture where everyone at ascensos can be themselves. We believe that we all have a role to play in championing Equality and Diversity - by partnering with Includability we believe that we can build a great place to work, learn and grow."
Achieving the status of Includability Committed Employer reflects our ongoing mission to optimise diversity and opportunity within our firm. Inclusion is an important part of this, and we look forward to connecting with others in the Includability community.
“We're really chuffed to have passed the assessment to become an Includability verified employer. The 5 pillars are central to the success of our people and to our community here at Best.Energy. Sustainability, talent development, wellbeing & mental health and fostering an inclusive workplace are incredibly important to us and are things we're working hard on improving all the time. We're not perfect, but we are working towards always being better and providing our most important asset - our people - the best environment we can to thrive and be happy.”
"Includability has a way of engaging with its members and it has a way of portraying a message. It's quite difficult sometimes to get out there into the public and instead of going right, we want to control everything Includability takes a completely different stance and it's refreshing to see. Insisting the need that the 5-Star Verification process is done independently by the people who know about these things adds to the credit of it and for me, that was really important. We've gone through that process and we're really lucky to be a 5-Star Verified Includability member, which is an honour as well. That was a massive attraction; it's not about just talking the talk; it's about walking the walk"

“We are very proud to have received this commendation and reinforces our vision and mission that there is more to football than 3 points on a Saturday. The work we have done with Includability has been incredible and has opened many doors allowing us to get a look at the practices in a diverse range of businesses and environments. Sport, particularly football, has always lagged well behind the business world in many of the issues Includability focuses on and we felt strongly that we wanted to be at the forefront of the conversation and hopefully leaders for change.”
