NI Water has said that it is "delighted" to be acknowledged for their commitment to advancing gender diversity in the work place by receiving the Bronze Gender Diversity Charter Mark Award.

Diversity Mark NI Ltd was set up by Women in Business to deliver the Charter Mark. It is the first of its kind and awards organisations for their commitment to progress on gender diversity. By signing up to the Charter Mark we have committed to steps to address areas of unequal gender representation at all levels: removing obstacles faced by women at key points of career development; implementing structural and cultural changes that will help advance gender diversity; and putting in place a strategy and action plan to affect change.

Christine White, Head of Diversity Mark NI said: "We are delighted to award NI Water with a Bronze Gender Diversity Charter Mark today. They within their application have shown a real commitment to implementing inclusive growth and cultural shifts within the workplace.

"The Charter has enabled organisations to identify and reflect on institutional barriers facing women, which impact progression on the career ladder. Through this, organisations have also taken steps to progress the overall diversity and equality agenda and improve the working environment for all genders."
