Marbral Advisory Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy
Marbral Advisory is a fair and equal opportunity employer and expects all employees to work in the same way. Marbral Advisory follows the Discrimination (Jersey) Law 2013 which includes the equal treatment of people from any race, sex, age and disabilities and treat all employees with the same respect as we would expect to be treated.
Marbral Advisory is signed up to the IoD (Institute of Directors Jersey Branch) Diversity and Inclusion Leadership Charter which aims to provide a simple route map that will enable any employer, whatever its size and industry and wherever they are on their ‘D&I journey’, to make real progress in diversity and inclusion. As one of the first companies to sign up, Marbral Advisory continues to champion the Charter for the good of the community.
Marbral Advisory takes a zero tolerance approach on direct or indirect discrimination against anyone.
