At Origin diversity and inclusion is imbedded in our principles and values and we are committed to creating a rewarding workplace for our people by valuing everyone’s contribution, encouraging personal development, recognising good performance and fostering equal opportunity.

At Origin we know that partnering with, and employing, a diverse range of people will give us access to a range of perspectives to make the best decisions today to create value for the future.

A diverse range of people will also have a positive sustainable impact on, and minimise risks to, employees, customers, shareholders and the communities in which we work. Therefore, the value in diversity will be realised in how effectively difference is embraced and inclusion is managed within our business practices and our engagement with all our stakeholders.

Origin’s approach to diversity and inclusion draws its strength from our Principles, Values and Commitments; these inform and guide our actions and are fundamental to our ability to join together our diverse workplaces, business functions and practices. Our commitment to diversity is the fostering of equal opportunity, valuing and harnessing all the ways in which people are different.

We believe there is strength and success in having a diverse workforce and our business decisions and actions will be made without unfair advantage and/or personal bias. Our aim is to create environments in which individuals are involved, supported, respected and connected. The evidence shows that a diverse workforce enhances business performance as well as fosters social justice.
