MAG shortlisted for Northern Power Women inclusivity award

The UK’s largest airports group has been shortlisted for an award recognising its commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI)

Manchester Airports Group (MAG) – which operates Manchester, London Stansted and East Midlands Airports – has been nominated under the ‘Large Organisation’ category which recognises businesses that are driving change to create opportunities that allow everyone to thrive.

The recognition follows the publication of the Group’s new EDI Strategy last year, which sets out its ambition to become a leader in inclusive excellence in the UK aviation sector.

Forming part of its industry leading approach, MAG also launched the UK aviation sector’s first EDI forum – ‘Aviation for All’. The forum brings together partners from across the industry to share best practice to drive inclusivity.

Northern Power Women - the organisation behind the nomination – is a collaborative campaign to accelerate gender diversity across the North of England. Its annual awards have now grown to be Europe’s largest celebration of equality – recognising individuals and organisations who are working to drive lasting change within their sectors and communities.

Emma Crossland, MAG’s Chief People Officer said: “We are proud to be shortlisted for this award, which recognises the positive steps we have taken to create an inclusive culture for everyone at MAG.

“Our colleagues – our Journey Makers – are at the heart of everything we do and working to ensure that we create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered is critical to the success of our business.

“We are committed to continuing on a positive trajectory towards inclusive excellence within our sector and the regions we serve.”
