Our Diversity and Inclusion Policy
Last Updated: 2 April 2025
Why DEI Matters
Cubic Promote believes that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) aren’t separate initiatives. Instead, they are central to how we build our team, serve and interact with our clients, and operate every day. Our workforce brings together people of all ages, abilities, cultures, genders, and identities. As a result, this variety fuels innovation, creativity, and empathy in everything we do. We also commit to fostering a space where every employee, client, contractor, and supplier feels respected, supported, and empowered to contribute. Therefore, discrimination based on gender identity, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability, faith, or any other personal attribute—has no place in our organisation. This commitment is part of our broader people & planet philosophy, where social responsibility and ethical business practices go hand in hand.
Policy Statement
This policy outlines the framework we use to champion inclusion at Cubic Promote. Specifically, it covers how we hire, promote, train, communicate, and collaborate—internally and externally. We apply these standards to every area of the business, from internal culture to supplier relationships and customer experience. Everyone we work with including employees, suppliers, contractors, volunteers, and clients embrace and support this policy. But we do more than include. We also celebrate. Because inclusion without celebration is just tolerance—and our team aims much higher than that.
Scope

We understand that diversity takes many forms. That’s why our diversity and inclusion policy acknowledges and celebrates the lived experiences of people across different backgrounds and identities. These expectations are shared with our external partners and outlined in our contractor policy, which sets clear standards for ethical conduct and inclusive collaboration.
Here’s how we put the policy into action:
✅ Embracing LGBTQIA+ Diversity
Our team is proud to offer a safe and supportive workplace for our LGBTQIA+ employees, customers, and partners. Harassment, discrimination, or bias based on gender identity or sexual orientation is not tolerated—ever. Our benefits include all family types, including same-sex partnerships. We also support and make sure to provide a safe and supportive space for our employees who are transitioning. This includes ensuring their privacy is respected and their experience remains dignified.
✅ Gender Equality
Our recruitment and promotion process focuses on what matters: skills, experience, and potential. We don’t let gender sway decisions—job titles and internal wording get regular check-ins to dodge any biased language that might creep in. We also have available parental leave and flexible schedules for everyone. Our leaders take responsibility for levelling the playing field, pushing for fair career growth, narrowing gaps at the top, and creating a workplace where every person gets a real shot to thrive.
✅ Ethnic and Racial Diversity
Representation matters. That’s why we actively encourage applications from individuals across all racial and cultural backgrounds and work to remove barriers to hiring and progression. We also review our shortlisted applicants for diversity, and our interview practices are structured to reduce subjectivity. Beyond recruitment, we also honour and recognise cultural identities in our workplace. Employees are invited to celebrate significant holidays, share their stories, and lead inclusive discussions that deepen understanding across teams. Outside of our own walls, we support socially driven initiatives and the charities we support, many of which are led by or support multicultural and underrepresented communities.
✅ Disability Inclusion

Accessibility is fundamental to a truly inclusive business. We provide reasonable accommodations to employees and job applicants with disabilities. This may include flexible hours, work-from-home arrangements, accessible tools or technology, and adjustments to duties where needed. Our workplaces are designed to support inclusion and comfort for all team members. Ongoing check-ins help us adjust support based on individual feedback.
✅ Age Diversity
We welcome and value contributions from people at every stage of life. Our hiring process avoids age-related criteria and focuses on the skills and potential of every candidate. We also encourage cross-generational learning through mentorship programs that pair emerging professionals with seasoned team members. Career development is supported continuously—not just early on. We also empower our employees across all ages and career levels with available trainings, promotions, and stretch opportunities.
✅ Religious and Cultural Inclusion
We make space for belief systems, spiritual traditions, and cultural identities in our day-to-day practices. Employees are free to observe religious holidays, wear culturally significant attire, and request accommodations for meaningful ceremonies or prayer. To help us represent diverse voices accurately and respectfully, we also brief our graphic designs team on culturally appropriate imagery and symbols—especially when working on materials for multicultural campaigns or client requests.
Building an Inclusive Workplace

Inclusion doesn’t just happen—we make it happen through intentional steps and strong leadership. Our managers lead the charge by showing what inclusion looks like such as tackling issues head-on, staying consistent, and keeping this policy front and centre. Discrimination, harassment, or retaliation? Not on our watch. If you see or face something off, speak up—there’s no blowback for doing the right thing. We also investigate every report with care, fairness, and discretion. Step out of line, and there are consequences—up to and including parting ways, whether that’s ending a contract or a job. Our suppliers and partners get the memo, too. This policy is non-negotiable, and we lay it out clearly from day one.
Review and Continuous Improvement
We revisit our diversity and inclusion policy every year to make sure it’s still on track—matching up with the law, top-notch global standards, and what our team needs as things change. Inclusion’s not a box we check and forget. But rather, it’s a journey that takes real talk, a bit of humility, and a willingness to listen. We’re in it for the long haul—asking for your input, making room to grow, and doing the work to get it right.
