Proud charter signatories
In July 2020, we became a Founding Partner signatory of the Diversity and Inclusion Charter - making a public pledge to driving positive, sustainable change through specific, committed actions. In 2021 we also signed the German Charta Der Vielfalt – a natural step as a global business determined to provide a diverse and truly inclusive workplace where all our employees have the same equity of opportunity.
Armed Forces Covenant
Amoria Bond are proud signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant.
This is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.

LGBTQI+ Pride
At Amoria Bond, we extend our Pride Month celebrations from June until Manchester Pride weekend in August, with a series of fun and educational activities led by our Diversity & Inclusion committee.
We believe it's important to celebrate Pride month in a way that encourages education and acknowledges the challenges, past and present, faced by the LGBTQI+ community.
For Pride 2022 we held a number of initiatives with this goal in mind, including writing about the dangers of rainbow-washing and why it's important to celebrate Pride, holding our own Pride-themed Pub Quiz night, streaming our live DJ sets and decorating our offices with important LGBTQI+ community facts.
You can see our flyers and facts to learn a few things for yourself in the link below.
