Tony Horrell, chief executive officer at Colliers, said: “At Colliers, we believe that fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace is not just a moral imperative but a business necessity. Our commitment to closing pay gaps across all areas of our business is a testament to our dedication to creating an equitable environment for all our employees. Closing the pay gap is crucial for promoting greater equality across all areas of diversity.

“We believe it is equally important to address other disparities in the workplace and, to that end, while we don’t have to publish our ethnicity data, we have chosen to do so voluntarily for the past two years. This year, we are taking a further step by including disability data in our reporting. Transparency and accountability are not just corporate buzzwords for us; they are the bedrock of our mission to foster real change. Every step we take brings us closer to true equity for our employees.”
