True Potential PUFin shortlisted for GED Awards 2017

The Noon Centre for Equality and Diversity in Business at the University of East London has announced the nominees for the 4th Annual Global Equality & Diversity (GED) Awards, the prestigious yearly celebration that recognises outstanding individuals and organisations developing and adopting new approaches to equality and diversity in business.

We are very pleased to announce that The True Potential Centre for the Public Understanding of Finance (True Potential PUFin) at The Open University Business School has been nominated for the Research Award.

This year’s ceremony will celebrate excellence in equality and diversity Research, Transparency and Impact. There is also a UEL Chancellor’s Award and a special Lord Noon Award (sponsored by Holman Fenwick Willan) for outstanding individual achievement in advancing equality and diversity. 

As businesses and organisations increasingly operate in the world of big data and transparency, this year’s entries demonstrate tremendous effort and insight into the new generation of equality, diversity and inclusion activity. GED Awards are a celebration of effort and achievement but also represent the next generation of benchmarks for research that informs bold change, using transparency in measuring the impact and revising action plans.
