Tracey explained

This is the DfT STAT Year of Diversity for logistics and transport. STAT is a voluntary, cross-sector industry body that has been given the responsibility for promoting awareness and access to apprenticeships, sector diversity and promoting transport as a career.

Here at Multimodal you are asked to sign a pledge and help build a toolkit for the future of inclusion in our sector.

STAT - Our aim for the Year of Diversity is:

o To create a network of transport people who are committed to tackling the lack of diversity within sector

o Create a culture where diversity is celebrated, and inclusion is the standard

o To raise awareness of the practices and activities organisations can engage in to increase diversity

o To encourage new demographics of employees to join the sector

o To build a cross-sector alliance of employers who have signed the pledge and will act of agents of change in the industry

o To implement and share learnings industry-wide
