The DEI committee was formed in 2021 with a focus on promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion across the commercial real estate finance industry. 

The Committee's principal areas of focus are to: 

  • Support the careers of professionals from under-represented groups in our industry, including developing suitable mentoring and networking schemes. 
  • Provide a forum for our member firms to compare notes and share experiences, making it easier for good practice to spread and mistakes not to be repeated. 
  • Help to attract a broader range of people from under-represented groups into our industry from schools and universities (including by collaborating with other relevant trade associations and initiatives). 

Our DEI committee is supported by three subcommittees, each with a specific focus and with representation across a range of member firms: 

  • Ethnicity Network
  • Mental Health & Wellbeing  
  • Women’s Network
