JEDI MATTERS is a Collective of small & medium sized businesses championing Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.
Our Mission is to collaborate with like-minded SMEs to build knowledge & accessible resources to help transform our organisations.
Small & Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), with up to 250 employees, make up a staggering 99.9% of UK businesses, creating 51% of UK Turnover & 60% of our employment. That’s a whole lot of potential that we think is being under-utilised to bring about a more Just, Equitable, Diverse and Inclusive society.
The nature of SMEs can make work in the JEDI space harder – we tend to have less people, less budget, less resource, less connections, less scale, less efficiency. But that’s if we operate on our own. If we work together, as a JEDI Collective, we can collaborate for greater efficiency, effectiveness, impact & change, regardless of our individual size.
“Equality is leaving the door open for anyone who has the means to approach it; equity is ensuring there is a pathway to that door for those who need it.”
Caroline Belden, Equity v Equality Series, The Inclusive Solution
