Culture and Inclusion

 
At IMechE, we believe engineering is for everyone. Our vision is to foster an inclusive culture where all members, employees, and the wider engineering community feel valued, develop a sense of belonging, and are empowered to thrive.

We are committed to embedding inclusion into every aspect of our Institution with support from the People and Culture team, our Culture and Inclusion Committee and our Culture Ambassador Network. We celebrate diversity amongst our members, employees and the wider engineering community to ensure we meet the needs of our global community, driving progress and innovation in engineering for the benefit of all.

Your voice matters!

Whether you have a story to tell, a suggestion, or are interested in speaking at one of our events, we’d love to hear from you.

    “Our values of Inclusion, Integrity, Innovation and Impact, reflect the way we work every day and the way we interact with others – employees and members of the Institution, or people outside our organisation. These values are at the heart of our identity and aspirations.”
