Diversity

Maucher Jenkins is an equal opportunities employer.

We are committed to promoting and providing equal opportunities in employment, creating an inclusive working environment, respecting diversity and avoiding unlawful discrimination.

All job applicants will receive equal treatment regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

We foster an environment in which all employees, job applicants, suppliers, contractors, customers and clients will feel safe, comfortable, valued and respected. We will not tolerate discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation of employees or others who work with or for us.

Our key principles:

  • Provide equality for all;
  • Promote an inclusive culture;
  • Respect and value the diversity and differences of everyone;
  • Prevent discrimination, harassment and victimisation; and
  • Promote and foster good relations across the business.

We are a proud member of IP Inclusive, an initiative set up by CIPA, CITMA, FICPI-UK , the IP Federation and the UK Intellectual Property Office, devoted to promoting equality, diversity and inclusivity throughout the IP professions.

We have endorsed IP Inclusive's Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity Charter and are dedicated to the Charter's six commitments:

  • appointment of an EDI Officer;
  • adoption of an organisational EDI policy;
  • promoting openness, transparency and equality in recruitment and career progression processes;
  • acknowledging and tackling unconscious bias; internally monitoring and reporting progress, in a manner appropriate for the size and nature of the organisation; and
  • sharing best practices with others in the community.

By signing up to the IP Inclusive Charter, we have made a public commitment to supporting and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in the IP professions.

Maucher Jenkins' Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Officer is Holly Whitlock.
