At Make Diversity Count, we believe that meaningful change starts with collective action.
This social impact organisation began as a campaign to turn adversity into positive change - a mission born from experiences of inequality. That sentiment remains at the heart of everything we do.
We’re inviting you to join us in making diversity count by giving back. Whether it’s through advocacy, supporting inclusive and sustainable initiatives, or partnering with us to create impact, every action helps build a more equitable and inclusive world.
Together, we can take steps—big and small—that challenge the status quo and bring lasting change.
Explore this page to discover how you can make a difference and ensure diversity counts in the places we live, work, and learn.
Let’s take action, together.
take action: The MAKE DIVERSITY COUNT PLEDGE
Commit to action. Drive real change. Make diversity count.
We believe that creating inclusive, equitable, and sustainable spaces requires more than words - it demands action. The Make Diversity Count Pledge is a commitment for individuals and organisations to take tangible steps toward embedding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their practices.
By taking this pledge, you will publicly state how you plan to make diversity count, sharing a clear, actionable plan that outlines:
-
Your Actions: The specific steps you will take to advance DEI, CSR, and ESG goals.
-
Accountability: Who is responsible for each action.
-
Deadlines: A timeline for when each action will be completed.
-
Reviews & Updates: A commitment to review and update the progress of the plan at least every quarter.

Together, we can empower communities, support marginalised groups, and create lasting impact.
