Equal opportunities

For all members regarding equal opportunity and anti-discrimination

The Institution of Chemical Engineers is committed to a policy of equal opportunities for all its members and stakeholders.

We value the diversity that men and women with differing backgrounds, skills, abilities and ages bring to the Institution. We will endeavour to foster an environment free from harassment and unfair discrimination in which individual potential can be harnessed to maximise benefit to the chemical engineering community.

It is our policy to:

  • Increase awareness of equal opportunities through appropriate publications and media
  • Research and reduce obstacles to equal opportunities challenge and root out discrimination if it occurs
  • Monitor and keep under review IChemE policies and practices within the Institution to ensure the promotion of equal opportunities


This policy applies to members of all grades, employees, applicants and other stakeholders. The Institution also encourages its members to follow a similar equal opportunities policy in their workplaces.
