Diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities
We value diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities, recognising the benefits it can bring to our Board, senior management team and, ultimately, the long-term success of the Company.
In 2024, we continued to review and embed our diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities policies and commitments across the business, including with respect to our corporate initiatives, portfolio assets and new investments.

Health and well-being
Ecora is committed to promoting mental, physical and emotional health and well-being.
We offer an enhanced employee benefits package to all employees, which includes life insurance, and access to our long-term illness and sickness policy. To ensure the physical health of employees, we provide access to additional healthcare benefits, including medical and dental cover, regular eye tests and flu vaccinations.
In 2024, we introduced a new salary sacrifice and related benefits scheme package offering employees cost-effective options to lease electric vehicles and bicycles, amongst other things. This initiative aligns with our commitment to lower carbon emissions, promoting sustainable travel and supporting a healthier work-life balance.
Training and development
We believe that supporting the professional development of our employees leads to the establishment of a strong pipeline of talent and organic succession planning from within the business. In 2024, we provided opportunities for professional and personal development through workshops, speakers, online resources, courses and coaching.
We continue to operate an annual training programme for all Directors and employees, covering key areas related to corporate governance. Please refer to the Corporate Governance section for further information on our governance disclosures.
Corporate charitable initiatives
We continue to support our employees’ efforts to contribute to society through non-profit charitable activities. To encourage and support employees’ personal charitable and fundraising efforts, we implemented its matched giving programme under its Charitable Donations Policy. In 2024 we made matched contributions of over $6,000.
In 2024, as part of our social commitment to contribute to the local community through charitable initiatives in London, the team spent a day at the Children’s Book Project, a charity aimed at tackling book poverty by giving every child the opportunity to own a book.
