Belonging

We aim to be the leading employer within defence and nuclear industry for championing equity, diversity and inclusion

Creating a workplace that recognises and celebrates differences and diverse perspectives is a key part of AWE’s business strategy. It takes a team to keep the nation safe.

To deliver a demanding programme and a replacement warhead in half the time, we need the most talented people from the nation and diversity of thought. We can achieve that with an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute. As part of that drive, AWE has committed to projects concerning gender, neurodiversity, ethnicity and veterans.  

Our ambitions for 2024 are to create a better sense of belonging for our employees and to meet the following goals:

  • Reach 30% or above female representation across employee groups 
  • Reach 6% or above of people from ethnic minority backgrounds across employee groups
  • Improve representation of people with disabilities at all levels of business
  • Improve LGBTQ+ representation at all levels of the business 
  • To sign the Women in Nuclear Charter

Our ambitions for 2024 are to create a better sense of belonging for our employees.
