Steps | Council for Inclusive Capitalism

At Steps, we believe in the ability of the neurodivergent community. Neurodivergence is the notion that brain difference is normal, or better said by one of our graduates, “We have different ideas and different thoughts”. Steps supports neurodivergent people to find the jobs they deserve by running education programmes, modelling inclusive businesses, and offering consultancy to activate inclusivity in the corporate work environment.

Purpose

Our mission is to empower employers and educators to realise and embrace the potential of neurodivergent people – as students, employees, as customers and as part of their community, so that together we can create a more inclusive world.

Our vision is an inclusive society which is truly representative of all, in which neurodivergent people are seen, heard, valued, respected, and empowered.

Alignment with Guiding Principles

We believe it is vital to state clearly to the world the set of our beliefs about Inclusive Capitalism. As such, we start with our Statement of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Capitalism. Knowing that words alone are not enough, each of us is making a series of commitments about how we will operate our institutions so that they help achieve Inclusive Capitalism. These commitments are forward-looking statements based on current goals, expectations and assumptions, which are not guarantees of future performance.
