Inclusion & Diversity
At Canopius we want to foster a distinctive, positive and inclusive culture, which allows us all to flourish, contributing to a business that delivers profitable and sustainable results.
We celebrate the diversity of our people and are committed to creating a workplace and inclusive culture where everyone feels respected, supported and able to thrive, no matter their background, identity or experience.
Inclusion and diversity are central to how we do business. We take a deliberate, data-informed and people-centric approach. That means listening to our colleagues, challenging barriers, and being accountable for real, sustained progress.
With diversity comes better outcomes for everyone. When we bring together different backgrounds, experiences and ways of thinking, we make stronger decisions, spot risks and opportunities more effectively and create better outcomes when diverse perspectives are actively included and valued. Inclusion ensures that voices aren’t just present but are heard and empowered to influence. It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s fundamental to how we grow, innovate and build a sustainable business.
Our Inclusion & Diversity Committee
Our inclusion and diversity work is driven by our Leadership team across the world, and operated through an I&D Steering Committee, with Regional Groups building their own local priorities to ensure cultural relevance and delivery.
We’re an Equal Opportunities Employer
Canopius is proud to be an equal opportunities employer. We use appropriate job descriptions, objective assessment methods and we will actively consider all applicants for every job role. Canopius believes in fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce, where we encourage people to bring their full selves to work.
Gender Pay Gap Report
We are committed to transparency and fairness in the workplace. Publishing our Gender Pay Gap report is an important step towards closing the gap. We continuously strive to improve and ensure equality, creating an environment where everyone feels valued and rewarded for their contributions.
Employee Networks
We encourage all Canopians to join us in focusing on inclusion and diversity. It’s on every one of us to make positive changes to foster a distinctive culture. Our Employee Network groups have led great changes, from better parental leave, menopause health coverage, inspiring webinars and speakers to cultural celebrations and activities. Our employees are our culture, and we could not be prouder of the work we do. People with testimonials focused on why they joined their employee network group.
I&D is about everyone
Diversity and Inclusion matters to us all.
We all benefit from a more diverse and inclusive Canopius.
1. We create a positive working experience
- Organisations in the top quartile for ethnic diversity have a +36% likelihood of financial outperformance.
2. We create a distinctive, positive culture
- More diversity equals more innovation according to research by Josh Bersin. In fact, companies that ranked as more inclusive were 1.7 times more likely to be innovation leaders in their market, and 1.8 times more likely to be change-ready.
3. We attract the best talent
- Glassdoor reports more than three in four employees and job seekers (76%) report a diverse workforce is an important factor when evaluating companies and job offers.
- Kantar’s Brand Inclusion Index 2024 highlights that for younger generations – particularly Gen Z and Millennials – diversity, fairness, and inclusion are not just preferences but essential expectations from the companies they engage with.
4. We do more profitable, sustainable business
- Inclusive teams actually make better business decisions up to 87% of the time, and they make those decisions twice as fast within half as many meetings. Decisions made and executed by diverse teams also delivered 60% better results, creating a profitable and sustainable business.
