Diversity is at the core of living up to the definition of our company name.

At Ingenuity, taking strong and evolving action around diversity and inclusion is more than just a responsibility, it is an imperative.

We are single minded about mandating diversity and cultivating inclusion within our business and industry. We have fully committed to normalising criticisms and feedback, inviting accountability, and proactively moving our feet in response.

We seek to create a work place that celebrates and welcomes our differences, and we recognise our unique position within the industry to affect change.

But, we acknowledge that this is not a stationary goal. For Ingenuity, there is always more to do.

Everything we do at Ingenuity is about
connection which is why we also provide a variety of other opportunities to connect more informally as a company with
regular socials, a
book club, an
Ingenuity running club on Strava and much more.
